LOW

Why flagged The source is a prebuilt binary from Google's official chrome-for-testing-public bucket on Google Cloud Storage, which is a legitimate and expected source for Chromedriver; despite the non-whitelisted host, the download is from a trusted vendor infrastructure, and the package installs only the official binary without executing remote code or obfuscation.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The source is a prebuilt binary from Google's official chrome-for-testing-public bucket on Google Cloud Storage, which is a legitimate and expected source for Chromedriver; despite the non-whitelisted host, the download is from a trusted vendor infrastructure, and the package installs only the official binary without executing remote code or obfuscation.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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