Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from Evernote's own CDN domain (cdn1.evernote.com), which is plausibly official; the source is a binary release from the vendor, not an untrusted third party, so while the host is not whitelisted, the context suggests it is legitimate and expected for this software.

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 .deb from Evernote's own CDN domain (cdn1.evernote.com), which is plausibly official; the source is a binary release from the vendor, not an untrusted third party, so while the host is not whitelisted, the context suggests it is legitimate and expected for this software.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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