Why flagged

The pip install is from a local source within the project's own source tree, not an external download, and the package builds its own code from a trusted project host (GitLab); the flagged external install is part of a standard venv setup for the project's CLI.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The pip install is from a local source within the project's own source tree, not an external download, and the package builds its own code from a trusted project host (GitLab); the flagged external install is part of a standard venv setup for the project's CLI.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:66 uv pip install "./greenboost-cli" --no-build-isolation

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:66 uv pip install "./greenboost-cli" --no-build-isolation
