LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package builds from a legitimate project source on GitHub and includes a vendored Zig toolchain for compatibility; the only risk is a non-verifiable 'indexer' script, but it is executed locally and the project otherwise follows standard AUR practices with no signs of malicious intent.

Triggered rules

LOW Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

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 90%): The package builds from a legitimate project source on GitHub and includes a vendored Zig toolchain for compatibility; the only risk is a non-verifiable 'indexer' script, but it is executed locally and the project otherwise follows standard AUR practices with no signs of malicious intent.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

  • PKGBUILD:30 "zig-x86_64-linux-$_zigver.tar.xz::https://ziglang.org/download/$_zigver/zig-x86_64-linux-$_zigver.tar.xz"
MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
