Why flagged

The AppImage is downloaded from dn.navicat.com, which is Navicat's own official download infrastructure, with a pinned sha256 checksum; the bundled local files (navicat-close-on-exit wrapper script, desktop file) also have pinned checksums. This is a legitimate proprietary software repackage with no obfuscation or exfiltration, though it installs a prebuilt closed-source binary.

Triggered rules

Low Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

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 80%): The AppImage is downloaded from dn.navicat.com, which is Navicat's own official download infrastructure, with a pinned sha256 checksum; the bundled local files (navicat-close-on-exit wrapper script, desktop file) also have pinned checksums. This is a legitimate proprietary software repackage with no obfuscation or exfiltration, though it installs a prebuilt closed-source binary.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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