Why flagged

Prebuilt binaries are downloaded from downloads.cursor.com, which is Cursor's own official download infrastructure, with b2 checksums provided; the bundled 'Cursor-TOS' and 'migrator' are local files (no URL), and the install hook only prints informational text — no obfuscation, exfiltration, or untrusted third-party hosting detected.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 75%): Prebuilt binaries are downloaded from downloads.cursor.com, which is Cursor's own official download infrastructure, with b2 checksums provided; the bundled 'Cursor-TOS' and 'migrator' are local files (no URL), and the install hook only prints informational text — no obfuscation, exfiltration, or untrusted third-party hosting detected.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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