LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads source files from the official IETF SVN host, which is plausibly the project's own infrastructure; the files are scripts and configs, not unverifiable prebuilt binaries, and are used directly in a standard build, so the risk is low despite the non-whitelisted domain.

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 downloads source files from the official IETF SVN host, which is plausibly the project's own infrastructure; the files are scripts and configs, not unverifiable prebuilt binaries, and are used directly in a standard build, so the risk is low despite the non-whitelisted domain.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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