kyocera-utax-ta
The package downloads a source tarball from a project-owned domain (utax.de) for building PPD drivers; the host is not whitelisted but is plausibly official, and the payload consists of non-executable data files (PPDs) installed by CUPS, posing no code execution risk.
Triggered rules
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 downloads a source tarball from a project-owned domain (utax.de) for building PPD drivers; the host is not whitelisted but is plausibly official, and the payload consists of non-executable data files (PPDs) installed by CUPS, posing no code execution risk.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
source_untrusted_domain
One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
