LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads source code from GitHub and two patches plus a script from ix.io; while ix.io is not a standard host, the files are small, checksummed (except the git source which is SKIP'd but from a trusted project repo), and the installed files are Python scripts and a shell wrapper, not executables, with no evidence of malicious behavior or remote code execution.

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-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads source code from GitHub and two patches plus a script from ix.io; while ix.io is not a standard host, the files are small, checksummed (except the git source which is SKIP'd but from a trusted project repo), and the installed files are Python scripts and a shell wrapper, not executables, with no evidence of malicious behavior or remote code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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