novprog
The package downloads source from the project's official website, uses a dynamically fetched SHA-256 checksum from the same trusted domain for integrity, and builds the software locally; the untrusted host flags are false positives due to the non-whitelisted but legitimate project domain.
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 90%): The package downloads source from the project's official website, uses a dynamically fetched SHA-256 checksum from the same trusted domain for integrity, and builds the software locally; the untrusted host flags are false positives due to the non-whitelisted but legitimate project domain.
2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
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.

source_untrusted_domain
One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
