Why flagged

The package downloads the project's own source files, including a JAR file, from a project-associated host and an archived version via Wayback Machine; these are build artifacts necessary for the editor, not untrusted executables, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code execution within the Java runtime, which is expected for the application's function.

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 90%): The package downloads the project's own source files, including a JAR file, from a project-associated host and an archived version via Wayback Machine; these are build artifacts necessary for the editor, not untrusted executables, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code execution within the Java runtime, which is expected for the application's function.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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