Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary and documentation from the official project host (igs.bkg.bund.de), which is not on the whitelist but is the legitimate source for this software; the binary is installed directly, but no obfuscated or remote code execution occurs, and the host, while non-standard, 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 a prebuilt binary and documentation from the official project host (igs.bkg.bund.de), which is not on the whitelist but is the legitimate source for this software; the binary is installed directly, but no obfuscated or remote code execution occurs, and the host, while non-standard, 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1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
