LOW

Why flagged

The package downloads locale files from an untrusted host during prepare(), but these are non-executable translation files; the worst-case impact of a malicious swap is limited to data tampering, not code execution.

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 package downloads locale files from an untrusted host during prepare(), but these are non-executable translation files; the worst-case impact of a malicious swap is limited to data tampering, not code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.
