LOW

Why flagged The download is of locale files (.mo translation files) from the project's official domain, which are non-executable data; the worst case of a 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-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The download is of locale files (.mo translation files) from the project's official domain, which are non-executable data; the worst case of a 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1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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.
