Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt JAR file from the project's official website, which is used as-is; the source is not executed during build, but the JAR is installed as a binary artifact, and while the host is not whitelisted, it is plausibly the project's own release infrastructure, making this a low-risk, typical AUR package for a Java application without source code.

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 downloads a prebuilt JAR file from the project's official website, which is used as-is; the source is not executed during build, but the JAR is installed as a binary artifact, and while the host is not whitelisted, it is plausibly the project's own release infrastructure, making this a low-risk, typical AUR package for a Java application without source code.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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