LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The source is a game mod (data/assets for 0ad) hosted on Dropbox, verified by an md5sum. The content is a mod archive installed as read-only data files under /usr/share/0ad/data/mods — no binaries are executed, no scripts are run from the archive, and no code is compiled. Dropbox is an unofficial host and the md5sum is weak (not sha256), but the mod is pure game data (maps, scripts, assets) for a well-known open-source game engine. The supply-chain concern is real but low-impact: even if the archive were tampered with, the worst realistic outcome is corrupted game data or malicious JavaScript-like scripts interpreted by 0ad's SpiderMonkey engine — a non-trivial but limited attack surface. This is sloppy packaging (weak checksum, personal cloud host) but not a clear medium-severity supply-chain threat involving executed native binaries or libraries.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 72%): The source is a game mod (data/assets for 0ad) hosted on Dropbox, verified by an md5sum. The content is a mod archive installed as read-only data files under /usr/share/0ad/data/mods — no binaries are executed, no scripts are run from the archive, and no code is compiled.
