LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a source file from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-maintainer-owned host; it is a simple script build with no obfuscation or execution of unverified binaries, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code execution within the build context, which is typical for AUR packages.

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 source file from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-maintainer-owned host; it is a simple script build with no obfuscation or execution of unverified binaries, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code execution within the build context, which is typical for AUR packages.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

PKGBUILD:14 source=(http://kafka.fr.free.fr/files/diff2html/diff2html.bz2)

MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted
