LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the project's official release domain (releases.aptakube.com), which is plausibly controlled by the vendor; the file is locally extracted and installed, a common AUR pattern for proprietary software, and while the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is project-specific and the payload is not obfuscated or remotely executed.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the project's official release domain (releases.aptakube.com), which is plausibly controlled by the vendor; the file is locally extracted and installed, a common AUR pattern for proprietary software, and while the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is project-specific and the payload is not obfuscated or remotely executed.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
MEDIUM source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
