Why flagged

The package downloads configuration and genesis files from hydra.iohk.io, a non-whitelisted but project-official build host; these are static JSON data files, not executable code, and are used for blockchain network configuration, so the worst-case impact of a compromised source is limited to network misconfiguration, not code execution or system compromise.

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 configuration and genesis files from hydra.iohk.io, a non-whitelisted but project-official build host; these are static JSON data files, not executable code, and are used for blockchain network configuration, so the worst-case impact of a compromised source is limited to network misconfiguration, not code execution or system compromise.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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