Why flagged

The package downloads the official Minecraft launcher binary from launcher.mojang.com (Mojang's own official domain) with a sha256 checksum; the flagged 'migrator' bare filename in the first source=() line appears to be a stray/overridden artifact that is superseded by the real source=() block, and all installed files come from the official Mojang infrastructure with verified checksums.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 70%): The package downloads the official Minecraft launcher binary from launcher.mojang.com (Mojang's own official domain) with a sha256 checksum; the flagged 'migrator' bare filename in the first source=() line appears to be a stray/overridden artifact that is superseded by the real source=() block, and all installed files come from the official Mojang infrastructure with verified checksums.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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