View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads the source from the official project domain over HTTPS, which is normal for AUR packages; the untrusted host flag is a false positive as fadeinpro.com is the legitimate vendor site, and the download is verifiable via checksum.

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 the source from the official project domain over HTTPS, which is normal for AUR packages; the untrusted host flag is a false positive as fadeinpro.com is the legitimate vendor site, and the download is verifiable via checksum.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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