Why flagged The source is a tarball from the official Chromium project's own Git repository, which is a legitimate and expected source for this software; building from project-owned infrastructure, even on a non-whitelisted host, is normal for AUR packages and poses low risk.

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 source is a tarball from the official Chromium project's own Git repository, which is a legitimate and expected source for this software; building from project-owned infrastructure, even on a non-whitelisted host, is normal for AUR packages and poses low risk.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

  • PKGBUILD:14 source=("https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+archive/refs/heads/${_google_version}.tar.gz")
MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
