LOW

Why flagged

The package builds from source hosted on a plausible project-owned domain (dgplug.org), patches it locally, and downloads the root DNS servers list at build time; the latter is a standard, safe practice, and the source is verified via checksum, making the overall risk low.

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 package builds from source hosted on a plausible project-owned domain (dgplug.org), patches it locally, and downloads the root DNS servers list at build time; the latter is a standard, safe practice, and the source is verified via checksum, making the overall risk low.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

PKGBUILD:21 _root_servers=$(curl -s http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root | grep ' A ' | awk '{print $4}')

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, …).
