nvidia-nsight-systems-bin
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
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.
