Why flagged
Downloads a prebuilt proprietary DAW installer from eu1.download.solidstatelogic.com, which is plausibly Harrison/SSL's own official CDN infrastructure (SSL acquired Harrison), with a hardcoded sha256 checksum; the .run installer is executed only with --noexec to extract files, and the rest is standard packaging — no obfuscation, no exfiltration, no piped-to-shell payloads.
Triggered rules
Low
AI review downgraded a static finding
llm_review
The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 75%): Downloads a prebuilt proprietary DAW installer from eu1.download.solidstatelogic.com, which is plausibly Harrison/SSL's own official CDN infrastructure (SSL acquired Harrison), with a hardcoded sha256 checksum; the .run installer is executed only with --noexec to extract files, and the rest is standard packaging — no obfuscation, no exfiltration, no piped-to-shell payloads.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
