Why flagged
The package builds OBS Studio from its official GitHub repository and includes a prebuilt CEF binary from the project's own CDN; while the CEF download host is not on a standard whitelist, it is a legitimate project resource, and the checksums are provided, making the 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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package builds OBS Studio from its official GitHub repository and includes a prebuilt CEF binary from the project's own CDN; while the CEF download host is not on a standard whitelist, it is a legitimate project resource, and the checksums are provided, making the 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1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).

## About vlc-luajit
74
# The official VLC package will make OBS crash when a VLC source is used.
75
# The issue is that VLC and OBS are compiled with different lua version.
76
# So I also created vlc-luajit, a VLC package compiled with the same lua as OBS.
77
# But to make people unable to install VLC official package with obs-studio-tytan652.
78
# I decided to make vlc-luajit a dependency of OBS rather than an optional one.
