LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from the official project's domain (betterbird.eu), which is not on the whitelist but is plausibly legitimate; the source is verified via sha256sum, and the package installs only data and binaries from that source without executing remote code or exhibiting malicious behavior.

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 official project's domain (betterbird.eu), which is not on the whitelist but is plausibly legitimate; the source is verified via sha256sum, and the package installs only data and binaries from that source without executing remote code or exhibiting malicious behavior.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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