Why flagged

The non-standard host is used to download a patchset tarball for Chromium, which is checksum-verified and part of a transparent build process; the source is not executed directly and the package builds from auditable upstream sources.

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 non-standard host is used to download a patchset tarball for Chromium, which is checksum-verified and part of a transparent build process; the source is not executed directly and the package builds from auditable upstream sources.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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