Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt Oracle ODBC library from Oracle's official domain (download.oracle.com), which is a legitimate source despite not being on the analyzer's whitelist; the installed files are non-executable libraries and docs, and the package depends on another official Oracle Instant Client package, indicating normal use of vendor-provided binaries.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt Oracle ODBC library from Oracle's official domain (download.oracle.com), which is a legitimate source despite not being on the analyzer's whitelist; the installed files are non-executable libraries and docs, and the package depends on another official Oracle Instant Client package, indicating normal use of vendor-provided binaries.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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