View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official CDN domain, which is plausibly controlled by the Lunar Client project; while the host is not on a standard whitelist, the AppImage is from the official vendor and used to extract and repackage the application, a common and expected practice for AppImage-based AUR packages.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official CDN domain, which is plausibly controlled by the Lunar Client project; while the host is not on a standard whitelist, the AppImage is from the official vendor and used to extract and repackage the application, a common and expected practice for AppImage-based AUR packages.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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