Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt SDK from the official project's release infrastructure (dl.nwjs.io), which is a standard and expected source for this software; the non-whitelisted host is the project's own domain, so the download is legitimate and the build process installs expected binaries without obfuscation or remote code execution.

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 prebuilt SDK from the official project's release infrastructure (dl.nwjs.io), which is a standard and expected source for this software; the non-whitelisted host is the project's own domain, so the download is legitimate and the build process installs expected binaries without obfuscation or remote code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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