Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt Electron app from the project's own release infrastructure (releases.multiviewer.app), which is plausibly official; the binary is not executed during build, and the worst case of a swapped source is running malicious code in a desktop app, but the host is specific to the project and not a generic file host.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt Electron app from the project's own release infrastructure (releases.multiviewer.app), which is plausibly official; the binary is not executed during build, and the worst case of a swapped source is running malicious code in a desktop app, but the host is specific to the project and not a generic file host.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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