libnetica
The package downloads a source archive from the official vendor's domain (norsys.com) which hosts the legitimate Netica API; despite the non-whitelisted host, this is a standard and expected source for the software, and the package installs only static libraries and headers without executing remote code.
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 archive from the official vendor's domain (norsys.com) which hosts the legitimate Netica API; despite the non-whitelisted host, this is a standard and expected source for the software, and the package installs only static libraries and headers without executing remote code.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
