LOW

Why flagged

The package uses uv to install its own source and a declared dependency (pykaos) in a build-time virtual environment; this is normal Python packaging behavior and not inherently dangerous.

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 uses uv to install its own source and a declared dependency (pykaos) in a build-time virtual environment; this is normal Python packaging behavior and not inherently dangerous.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:31 VIRTUAL_ENV="${srcdir}/venv" uv pip install pykaos

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:31 VIRTUAL_ENV="${srcdir}/venv" uv pip install pykaos
