LOW

Why flagged The source is a stable release tarball from libguestfs.org, a project-affiliated host, used for building the software from source; the non-whitelisted host is plausibly official, and no untrusted executable is run.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The source is a stable release tarball from libguestfs.org, a project-affiliated host, used for building the software from source; the non-whitelisted host is plausibly official, and no untrusted executable is run.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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