Why flagged
The package downloads prebuilt .deb binaries from the official project domain (downloads.cursor.com), which is a legitimate source for Cursor; while checksums are skipped, the host is project-owned and the binaries are not executed remotely, limiting supply-chain risk to typical AUR binary packaging concerns.
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 binaries from the official project domain (downloads.cursor.com), which is a legitimate source for Cursor; while checksums are skipped, the host is project-owned and the binaries are not executed remotely, limiting supply-chain risk to typical AUR binary packaging concerns.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
