Why flagged

The npx command runs electron-builder locally as part of the build process, which is a standard tool for packaging Electron apps and does not execute untrusted remote code.

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 90%): The npx command runs electron-builder locally as part of the build process, which is a standard tool for packaging Electron apps and does not execute untrusted remote code.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
Medium npx/bunx/deno executes a remote package remote_code_tool

`npx`/`bunx`/`pnpm dlx`/`deno run <url>` downloads AND runs a remote package at build time — the moral equivalent of piping a download into a shell. Severity downgraded: Node.js consumer context.
