ds9-bin
The package downloads a prebuilt binary from the official project's domain (ds9.si.edu), which is plausibly owned by the project maintainers; despite the non-whitelisted host, this is a standard practice for upstream-provided binaries and not inherently malicious.

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 prebuilt binary from the official project's domain (ds9.si.edu), which is plausibly owned by the project maintainers; despite the non-whitelisted host, this is a standard practice for upstream-provided binaries and not inherently malicious.
