newns
The source is a single C file from a university host, compiled locally; the worst case of a swapped source is a malicious binary, but it's a transparent build from readable source, not an unverifiable prebuilt executable.
Triggered rules
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 single C file from a university host, compiled locally; the worst case of a swapped source is a malicious binary, but it's a transparent build from readable source, not an unverifiable prebuilt executable.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
source_untrusted_domain
One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
