Why flagged

The source is a prebuilt JAR from a personal server, but it is the only available version containing the needed PDF tools and is used for building a package that installs the project's own unmodified artifact; the worst case of a swapped source is execution of malicious Java code, but the context suggests this is a necessary archival build rather than active malice.

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 is a prebuilt JAR from a personal server, but it is the only available version containing the needed PDF tools and is used for building a package that installs the project's own unmodified artifact; the worst case of a swapped source is execution of malicious Java code, but the context suggests this is a necessary archival build rather than active malice.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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