LOW

Why flagged The source is a prebuilt NVIDIA driver installer from NVIDIA's official domain (us.download.nvidia.com), which is a legitimate and expected source for this package; the host is not on standard whitelists but is authentic and the package builds kernel modules from NVIDIA's official source, posing no active threat.

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 prebuilt NVIDIA driver installer from NVIDIA's official domain (us.download.nvidia.com), which is a legitimate and expected source for this package; the host is not on standard whitelists but is authentic and the package builds kernel modules from NVIDIA's official source, posing no active threat.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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