gsview
The source is a tarball from a plausible mirror of the project's official release; it is built from source and not an executable payload, making the risk low despite the non-whitelisted host.
Triggered rules
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 source is a tarball from a plausible mirror of the project's official release; it is built from source and not an executable payload, making the risk low despite the non-whitelisted host.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
