LOW

Why flagged The package downloads configuration files and certificates from NordVPN's official domains, which are used as static data and not executed; the source is legitimate and the worst case of a swapped host would be limited to invalid configurations or trust issues, not arbitrary code execution.

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 downloads configuration files and certificates from NordVPN's official domains, which are used as static data and not executed; the source is legitimate and the worst case of a swapped host would be limited to invalid configurations or trust issues, not arbitrary code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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