Why flagged
The package downloads the official Discord tarball and OpenAsar source from GitHub, both used to build the application locally; the untrusted host warnings are due to non-whitelisted domains, but the sources are legitimate and the build process is transparent and non-malicious.
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 the official Discord tarball and OpenAsar source from GitHub, both used to build the application locally; the untrusted host warnings are due to non-whitelisted domains, but the sources are legitimate and the build process is transparent and non-malicious.
2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
Medium
External download from an untrusted host, not in source=()
external_download_not_in_source
curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

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, …).
