LOW

Why flagged Downloads a prebuilt AppImage from rs-launcher-updates.runescape.com, which is plausibly Jagex/RuneScape's own official update infrastructure, with a pinned sha256 checksum; the host is non-standard but consistent with the official product domain, making this a low-risk official binary distribution rather than an unverifiable third-party source.

Triggered rules

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 70%): Downloads a prebuilt AppImage from rs-launcher-updates.runescape.com, which is plausibly Jagex/RuneScape's own official update infrastructure, with a pinned sha256 checksum; the host is non-standard but consistent with the official product domain, making this a low-risk official binary distribution rather than an unverifiable third-party source.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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