Why flagged Downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, which is NCBI's official FTP server and the project's own release infrastructure; the sha256 checksum is provided, making this a legitimate packaging of an official upstream release rather than an unverifiable third-party binary.

Triggered rules

LOW Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 80%): Downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, which is NCBI's official FTP server and the project's own release infrastructure; the sha256 checksum is provided, making this a legitimate packaging of an official upstream release rather than an unverifiable third-party binary.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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