latex-template-springer
The package downloads LaTeX template files from Springer's official CMS domain, which is plausibly the project's own source; the files are non-executable data, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to tampering with templates, not code execution.
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 LaTeX template files from Springer's official CMS domain, which is plausibly the project's own source; the files are non-executable data, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to tampering with templates, not code execution.
