Why flagged The package builds from a public GitHub repository and uses a Chinese npm mirror for dependencies, which is a common practice in China to improve download speeds; the mirror is not inherently malicious, and the source code is openly auditable.

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 package builds from a public GitHub repository and uses a Chinese npm mirror for dependencies, which is a common practice in China to improve download speeds; the mirror is not inherently malicious, and the source code is openly auditable.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
MEDIUM Package install from an untrusted index/registry host install_untrusted_index

An install command is pointed at a custom package index / registry on a non-allowlisted host (--index-url / --registry / --extra-index-url), a classic dependency-confusion vector.
