Why flagged

The package builds from the project's own GitLab repository (INRIA, a research institute), which is a plausible project-owned source; the use of opam to install dependencies is standard for OCaml projects and not inherently malicious, despite the non-whitelisted host and skipped checksum.

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 builds from the project's own GitLab repository (INRIA, a research institute), which is a plausible project-owned source; the use of opam to install dependencies is standard for OCaml projects and not inherently malicious, despite the non-whitelisted host and skipped checksum.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:26 opam install --yes --switch=$pkgname base64 hex dune atdgen zarith cryptokit calendar cmdliner sqlite3 csv ocsipersist-sqlite eliom gettext-camomile ocamlnet

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, …).
