LOW

Why flagged The package downloads source code from SourceForge, a non-whitelisted but plausible project host, but it is the project's own official repository via Mercurial; the downloaded content is source code being compiled, not a prebuilt executable, and the worst case of a malicious swap would be code injection during build, which is mitigated by the use of version control and transparent build process.

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 source code from SourceForge, a non-whitelisted but plausible project host, but it is the project's own official repository via Mercurial; the downloaded content is source code being compiled, not a prebuilt executable, and the worst case of a malicious swap would be code injection during build, which is mitigated by the use of version control and transparent build process.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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