Why flagged

The package builds from a tarball hosted on the maintainer's personal domain, which is not whitelisted but plausibly the project's own source; the software is a simple Perl/script-based jpeg tool with no obfuscated code or remote execution, and the dependency on 'libjpeg.so' is a system library, not a remote payload.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 90%): The package builds from a tarball hosted on the maintainer's personal domain, which is not whitelisted but plausibly the project's own source; the software is a simple Perl/script-based jpeg tool with no obfuscated code or remote execution, and the dependency on 'libjpeg.so' is a system library, not a remote payload.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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