Why flagged

The package downloads the official demo tarball from the vendor's own domain, which is a plausible source; the download is used to install data and a binary, but the source is not executed at build time and the checksum is verified.

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 the official demo tarball from the vendor's own domain, which is a plausible source; the download is used to install data and a binary, but the source is not executed at build time and the checksum is verified.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

PKGBUILD:17 _current_version="$(curl -s 'https://www.fadeinpro.com/page.pl?content=version_notes' | sed -n 's/.*The current version is <b>$[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*$<\/b>.*/\1/p')"

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, …).

PKGBUILD:12 source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://www.fadeinpro.com/download/demo/fadein-linux-x64-demo.tar.gz")
