LOW

Why flagged The source is a tarball from the project's official homepage, which is not on a standard forge but is the legitimate and long-standing host for ntpclient; the software is built from source, not a prebuilt binary, and the checksum is provided, making this a normal AUR package with a non-whitelisted but trusted project-specific host.

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 source is a tarball from the project's official homepage, which is not on a standard forge but is the legitimate and long-standing host for ntpclient; the software is built from source, not a prebuilt binary, and the checksum is provided, making this a normal AUR package with a non-whitelisted but trusted project-specific host.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
