View on AUR

Why flagged

Downloads a prebuilt binary tarball directly from ARM's official developer.arm.com infrastructure with a pinned sha256 checksum; the source is the project's own official release host, not a personal or swappable third-party location, so supply-chain risk is minimal.

Triggered rules

Low Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 85%): Downloads a prebuilt binary tarball directly from ARM's official developer.arm.com infrastructure with a pinned sha256 checksum; the source is the project's own official release host, not a personal or swappable third-party location, so supply-chain risk is minimal.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
