LOW

Why flagged The PKGBUILD runs 'npm install' (from the project's own package.json/package-lock.json) and 'npm add -D @electron-forge/plugin-local-electron' during prepare(). The 'npm install' step is standard for Node.js/Electron projects and installs declared dependencies. The 'npm add' installs a well-known, official @electron-forge scoped package from npmjs.com (or npmmirror.com for CN users), which is a legitimate Electron packaging tool maintained by the Electron Forge project. This is a common pattern in AUR Electron packages that use system-wide electron. The CN mirror redirect (npmmirror.com) is a recognized Chinese npm mirror. There is no binary pulled from an unofficial/personal host, no obfuscation, and no exfiltration. The main concern is the general supply-chain risk inherent in any npm install (transitive dependencies), but this is not elevated beyond the normal risk of any npm-based AUR package. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is a false positive — this is sloppy/non-standard (npm install at build time, nvm usage, runtime curl to ipinfo.io) but not a meaningful security risk beyond the baseline of any npm-based package.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 75%): The PKGBUILD runs 'npm install' (from the project's own package.json/package-lock.json) and 'npm add -D @electron-forge/plugin-local-electron' during prepare(). The 'npm install' step is standard for Node.js/Electron projects and installs declared dependencies. The 'npm add' installs a well-known, official @electron-forge scoped package from npmjs.com (or npmmirror.com for CN users), which is a legitimate Electron packaging tool maintained by the Electron Forge project.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.
