Why flagged

The source is a tarball from a personal domain not on the standard whitelist, but it hosts the official project source for a known computer algebra system; the package builds from source without executing untrusted prebuilt binaries, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to supply-chain compromise of the software itself, which is plausible but not actively malicious in this context.

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 source is a tarball from a personal domain not on the standard whitelist, but it hosts the official project source for a known computer algebra system; the package builds from source without executing untrusted prebuilt binaries, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to supply-chain compromise of the software itself, which is plausible but not actively malicious in this context.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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