Why flagged

The non-standard hosts are for ancillary files (systemd services, rules templates) from the official Arch Linux packaging GitLab, not the main source; the primary source is a legitimate git checkout from the project's official repository, and all installed files are either built from source or static data, posing no execution risk.

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 non-standard hosts are for ancillary files (systemd services, rules templates) from the official Arch Linux packaging GitLab, not the main source; the primary source is a legitimate git checkout from the project's official repository, and all installed files are either built from source or static data, posing no execution risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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