View on AUR

Why flagged

The package builds from the official busybox git repository and uses Alpine's configuration from a non-whitelisted but plausibly official source; both sources have SKIP'd checksums but no remote code execution or malicious behavior is present, and the build is otherwise standard for an AUR package.

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 builds from the official busybox git repository and uses Alpine's configuration from a non-whitelisted but plausibly official source; both sources have SKIP'd checksums but no remote code execution or malicious behavior is present, and the build is otherwise standard for an AUR package.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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