Why flagged

The package downloads source files and assets from the official project domain (falstad.com), which is the legitimate home of the software; despite the static analyzer flagging the host as non-standard, the domain is authentic and the downloaded content consists of a source tarball and static assets (icon, desktop file) that are not executable code, making the actual risk low.

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 package downloads source files and assets from the official project domain (falstad.com), which is the legitimate home of the software; despite the static analyzer flagging the host as non-standard, the domain is authentic and the downloaded content consists of a source tarball and static assets (icon, desktop file) that are not executable code, making the actual risk low.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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