LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a source zip from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned host (helpdeskweb.nl) which contains the project's own executable and scripts; this is a normal build process for the software, and the worst case of a swapped source would be code execution, but the context suggests it is the official source, making it low risk.

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 zip from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned host (helpdeskweb.nl) which contains the project's own executable and scripts; this is a normal build process for the software, and the worst case of a swapped source would be code execution, but the context suggests it is the official source, making it low risk.
