Triggered rules
llm_review
The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 90%): The package builds from a verifiable GitHub source tarball and uses standard npm/electron-builder tooling; the flagged npx and npm install commands are part of the project's legitimate build process and do not execute untrusted remote code.
2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
npm_install_external
Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.
-
PKGBUILD:32
npm install --cpu="${!CARCH}" --omit dev --omit optional --omit peer --no-bin-links
remote_code_tool
`npx`/`bunx`/`pnpm dlx`/`deno run <url>` downloads AND runs a remote package at build time — the moral equivalent of piping a download into a shell. Severity downgraded: Node.js consumer context.

PKGBUILD:44
