Why flagged

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

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 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2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
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:14 pkg_sha=$(curl -s https://gottcode.org/novprog/ | sed -n '/id="details_source"/{:loop;n;/<b>SHA-256:/{s|^.*<span class="shasum">\([0-9a-f]*\)</span>.*$|\1|p;q};b loop}')
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, …).

  • PKGBUILD:12 source=("https://gottcode.org/novprog/novprog-${pkgver}.tar.bz2"
