LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official release domain (fontba.se), which is plausibly the project's own infrastructure; the AppImage is then extracted and repackaged using standard tools, with no obfuscation or remote code execution, and the final package consists of static files and a start script, so the risk is limited to supply-chain trust in the upstream binary.

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 AppImage from the project's official release domain (fontba.se), which is plausibly the project's own infrastructure; the AppImage is then extracted and repackaged using standard tools, with no obfuscation or remote code execution, and the final package consists of static files and a start script, so the risk is limited to supply-chain trust in the upstream binary.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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