Why flagged

The package builds a sudo-like tool from its own Codeberg source and intentionally sets the setuid bit on the binary, which is expected behavior for a privilege-escalation utility; the main concerns are the SKIP'd checksum on a git source and that it's a low-vote package, but there is no obfuscation, exfiltration, or unverifiable prebuilt binary involved.

Triggered rules

Low Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 70%): The package builds a sudo-like tool from its own Codeberg source and intentionally sets the setuid bit on the binary, which is expected behavior for a privilege-escalation utility; the main concerns are the SKIP'd checksum on a git source and that it's a low-vote package, but there is no obfuscation, exfiltration, or unverifiable prebuilt binary involved.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium Privileged / out-of-pacman install (sudoers, setuid, or self-update) privileged_install

The package grants elevated privileges or installs an update path outside pacman: a /etc/sudoers.d rule (often passwordless), a setuid/setgid binary, or a self-update script/service that can fetch and run future code with no checksum verification. The initial install may be verified, but the ongoing privilege + update surface is a real supply-chain / privilege-escalation risk.
