Why flagged
The package downloads prebuilt .deb files from the official cursor.com production domain, which is the project's own release infrastructure; while checksums are skipped, the source host is legitimate and the package installs only the vendor-provided binary and metadata, posing no active threat.
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 prebuilt .deb files from the official cursor.com production domain, which is the project's own release infrastructure; while checksums are skipped, the source host is legitimate and the package installs only the vendor-provided binary and metadata, posing no active threat.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
