Why flagged

The package builds from a legitimate project source (w1.fi) via git and applies patches from a trusted upstream (aircrack-ng), with no execution of unverified remote code or supply-chain risks.

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 package builds from a legitimate project source (w1.fi) via git and applies patches from a trusted upstream (aircrack-ng), with no execution of unverified remote code or supply-chain risks.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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