LOW

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a project-associated domain (elliecomputing.com) which is not on the whitelist but plausibly official; the worst case of a swapped source is code execution, but the host is specific to the vendor, not a generic file host, making supply-chain risk low.

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 prebuilt binary from a project-associated domain (elliecomputing.com) which is not on the whitelist but plausibly official; the worst case of a swapped source is code execution, but the host is specific to the vendor, not a generic file host, making supply-chain risk low.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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