Why flagged

The package downloads a JAR file and assets from the project's own domain, which is plausibly the official source; building and installing the project's own code from its official host is normal AUR packaging, even if the host is not on a standard whitelist.

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 a JAR file and assets from the project's own domain, which is plausibly the official source; building and installing the project's own code from its official host is normal AUR packaging, even if the host is not on a standard whitelist.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

10# Current reverse engineering for figuring out the jar:
11# 1. curl the current script:
12# https://bit.ly/cl4lx
13# ->
14# https://launcher.crystal-launcher.net/linux/install.sh
15# Here we can find the launcher icon.
16# 2. Fetch the launcher.tar.xz mentioned there
17# 3. The 'launcher' binary inside is a PyInstaller package.
18# It can be unpacked via:
19# https://github.com/extremecoders-re/pyinstxtractor
20# There is the web version here:
21# https://pyinstxtractor-web.netlify.app/
22# 4. Unpack the .zip file, it has a bunch of .pyc files.
23# You can decompile it via pycdc.
24# Focus on the Crystal*.pyc.
25# The main manifest is available here:
26# https://launcher.crystal-launcher.net/bootstrapNX/data/bootstrapManifest.json
27# It also stores the Java version to use
28# 5. We have the proper JAR and command line path for the launcher.
