LOW

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from curseforge.overwolf.com, which is the official distribution domain for the CurseForge client; while the host is not a standard code forge, it is a legitimate and expected source for this software, and the AppImage is not executed during build but repackaged, posing minimal 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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from curseforge.overwolf.com, which is the official distribution domain for the CurseForge client; while the host is not a standard code forge, it is a legitimate and expected source for this software, and the AppImage is not executed during build but repackaged, posing minimal risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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