LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from NordVPN's official repository, which is a legitimate source for the software; while the host is not a standard code forge, it is the vendor's own domain, and the binary is expected for a -bin AUR package, making this a normal distribution method with low risk.

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 package downloads a prebuilt .deb from NordVPN's official repository, which is a legitimate source for the software; while the host is not a standard code forge, it is the vendor's own domain, and the binary is expected for a -bin AUR package, making this a normal distribution method with low risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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