LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The source uses a Subversion checkout from a project-owned SourceForge repository, which is a normal and legitimate method for AUR packages; the non-standard host is part of SourceForge's infrastructure, and the SKIP'd checksum is due to version control, not unverifiable binary distribution.

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 uses a Subversion checkout from a project-owned SourceForge repository, which is a normal and legitimate method for AUR packages; the non-standard host is part of SourceForge's infrastructure, and the SKIP'd checksum is due to version control, not unverifiable binary distribution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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