LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The source is a prebuilt archive from NVIDIA's official developer.download.nvidia.com domain, which is the legitimate vendor host; despite the non-whitelisted domain and skipped checksum, this is a standard AUR package for distributing NVIDIA's official binary.

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 archive from NVIDIA's official developer.download.nvidia.com domain, which is the legitimate vendor host; despite the non-whitelisted domain and skipped checksum, this is a standard AUR package for distributing NVIDIA's official binary.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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