View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from the project's official domain (betterbird.eu), which is not on the analyzer's whitelist but is plausibly legitimate; the source is verifiable via checksum and the package installs only data and a binary from the official vendor, with no code execution or remote payloads.

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 a prebuilt binary from the project's official domain (betterbird.eu), which is not on the analyzer's whitelist but is plausibly legitimate; the source is verifiable via checksum and the package installs only data and a binary from the official vendor, with no code execution or remote payloads.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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