LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the official project domain over HTTP, which is non-ideal but not inherently malicious; the checksum is provided and matches the expected value, and the software is installed from the vendor's own release infrastructure, making this a standard AUR package for a proprietary tool with no evidence of code injection or remote 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 a prebuilt .deb from the official project domain over HTTP, which is non-ideal but not inherently malicious; the checksum is provided and matches the expected value, and the software is installed from the vendor's own release infrastructure, making this a standard AUR package for a proprietary tool with no evidence of code injection or remote 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1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
