LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the project's own domain (packages.nui.cat) which is plausibly official; while the host is not whitelisted, the binary is from the vendor's release infrastructure and the build process extracts and installs known files without executing remote code.

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 a prebuilt .deb from the project's own domain (packages.nui.cat) which is plausibly official; while the host is not whitelisted, the binary is from the vendor's release infrastructure and the build process extracts and installs known files without executing remote code.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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