View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The download is from OpenDesktop.org's official infrastructure via a dynamically generated URL, which is used to fetch the project's own source tarball; the content is a theme (non-executable data), and the final URL is captured in source=() with a fixed checksum, limiting supply-chain risk.

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 download is from OpenDesktop.org's official infrastructure via a dynamically generated URL, which is used to fetch the project's own source tarball; the content is a theme (non-executable data), and the final URL is captured in source=() with a fixed checksum, limiting supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
MEDIUM External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.
