Why flagged

The source is a tarball from a personal domain, but it corresponds to a specific Git commit of the official Consul project, and the build process compiles from source using standard Go tooling, which is normal for AUR packages; the worst case of a swapped source would be untrusted code execution, but the context suggests it is a legitimate fork used for packaging, not an arbitrary remote binary.

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 source is a tarball from a personal domain, but it corresponds to a specific Git commit of the official Consul project, and the build process compiles from source using standard Go tooling, which is normal for AUR packages; the worst case of a swapped source would be untrusted code execution, but the context suggests it is a legitimate fork used for packaging, not an arbitrary remote binary.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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