LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from the project's own update server, which is not on a standard forge but plausibly official; the binary is not executed directly during build/install and is instead copied to the user's home directory on first run, limiting supply-chain risk to post-install execution, which is typical for such applications.

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 binary from the project's own update server, which is not on a standard forge but plausibly official; the binary is not executed directly during build/install and is instead copied to the user's home directory on first run, limiting supply-chain risk to post-install execution, which is typical for such applications.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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