Why flagged The package downloads official Canon driver tarballs from Canon's own gdlp01.c-wss.com domain, which is a standard host for Canon software distribution; despite the static analyzer flag, the source is legitimate and the build process only extracts and installs the official driver files.

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 official Canon driver tarballs from Canon's own gdlp01.c-wss.com domain, which is a standard host for Canon software distribution; despite the static analyzer flag, the source is legitimate and the build process only extracts and installs the official driver files.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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