LOW

Why flagged The source downloads a tarball from releases.wikimedia.org and GitHub's codeload service, both plausible official project hosts; the non-whitelisted host is GitHub's codeload, which is trustworthy for Wikimedia extensions, and the content is source code, not an executable payload.

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 downloads a tarball from releases.wikimedia.org and GitHub's codeload service, both plausible official project hosts; the non-whitelisted host is GitHub's codeload, which is trustworthy for Wikimedia extensions, and the content is source code, not an executable payload.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

PKGBUILD:35 source=("https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/${_basever}/mediawiki-$pkgver.tar.gz"{,.sig}

MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
