Why flagged

The package downloads a Debian binary from NVIDIA's official developer domain, which is the project's legitimate source; despite the non-whitelisted host pattern, the download is from a trusted vendor and installs only prebuilt official binaries as expected.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a Debian binary from NVIDIA's official developer domain, which is the project's legitimate source; despite the non-whitelisted host pattern, the download is from a trusted vendor and installs only prebuilt official binaries as expected.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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