LOW

Why flagged The source is a tarball from the project's official download host (download.limesurvey.org), which is plausibly project-owned despite not being on a standard domain; it is not a prebuilt executable or untrusted remote code, and the package installs only static web application files.

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 source is a tarball from the project's official download host (download.limesurvey.org), which is plausibly project-owned despite not being on a standard domain; it is not a prebuilt executable or untrusted remote code, and the package installs only static web application files.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

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

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
