LOW

Why flagged The source URL is on a project-specific domain (hercules-390.eu) which is plausibly official for the project; the download is a standard source tarball, not a prebuilt binary, and the build process is transparent; the non-whitelisted host is not inherently risky given the context of a legitimate project-hosted source.

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 source URL is on a project-specific domain (hercules-390.eu) which is plausibly official for the project; the download is a standard source tarball, not a prebuilt binary, and the build process is transparent; the non-whitelisted host is not inherently risky given the context of a legitimate project-hosted source.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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