LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a plausibly official but non-whitelisted host (personal.kioxia.com, Kioxia's domain); the source is a closed-source GUI utility, not executed at build time, and the worst case of a swapped binary is limited to post-install misuse, not build-time 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-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a plausibly official but non-whitelisted host (personal.kioxia.com, Kioxia's domain); the source is a closed-source GUI utility, not executed at build time, and the worst case of a swapped binary is limited to post-install misuse, not build-time 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1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
