Why flagged

The pip install fetches build dependencies from the project's own requirements.in, which is part of the official upstream source; this is a normal part of building the font and does not introduce untrusted remote code execution.

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 pip install fetches build dependencies from the project's own requirements.in, which is part of the official upstream source; this is a normal part of building the font and does not introduce untrusted remote code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:30 pip install -r requirements.in
