Why flagged

The package downloads a source tarball from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned host (lsdwa.com) and installs it; the content is a self-contained game build, not an executable payload or remote code, and the host appears to be the maintainer's official site for the project.

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 source tarball from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned host (lsdwa.com) and installs it; the content is a self-contained game build, not an executable payload or remote code, and the host appears to be the maintainer's official site for the project.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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