Why flagged

The package downloads a Quake 3 patch file from a non-whitelisted but well-known academic mirror (ftp.gwdg.de), which is used to extract official .pk3 data files; these are game assets, not executable code, and the build uses the project's own source from GitHub, making the risk low despite the unverifiable origin of the patch.

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 a Quake 3 patch file from a non-whitelisted but well-known academic mirror (ftp.gwdg.de), which is used to extract official .pk3 data files; these are game assets, not executable code, and the build uses the project's own source from GitHub, making the risk low despite the unverifiable origin of the patch.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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