Why flagged

The package downloads prebuilt binaries from the project's official domain (dl.basilisk-browser.org), which is plausibly controlled by the project maintainers; the binaries are verified with matching checksums, and the worst case of a swapped source would be execution of malicious code, but the source host is project-specific and not a generic file-sharing service.

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 prebuilt binaries from the project's official domain (dl.basilisk-browser.org), which is plausibly controlled by the project maintainers; the binaries are verified with matching checksums, and the worst case of a swapped source would be execution of malicious code, but the source host is project-specific and not a generic file-sharing service.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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