Why flagged The source is a tarball from a Discord subdomain used for development builds; while not on a standard whitelist, it is plausibly an official project host, and the package installs only static files without executing remote code or introducing unverifiable binaries.

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 source is a tarball from a Discord subdomain used for development builds; while not on a standard whitelist, it is plausibly an official project host, and the package installs only static files without executing remote code or introducing unverifiable binaries.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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