LOW

Why flagged The package downloads the game's source code and an official data file from plausible project-owned domains; the non-whitelisted host is the project's own SourceForge site, and the downloaded content is either source code or game assets, not a prebuilt executable, making the supply-chain risk low.

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 package downloads the game's source code and an official data file from plausible project-owned domains; the non-whitelisted host is the project's own SourceForge site, and the downloaded content is either source code or game assets, not a prebuilt executable, making the supply-chain risk low.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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