LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads source files and a book file from the official project domain komodochess.com, which is plausibly the project's own infrastructure; the files are either data (book.bin, COPYING) or a prebuilt binary from the official source, making the risk low despite the non-whitelisted host flag.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

MEDIUM source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain
