LOW

Why flagged The package builds from the official GitHub source using cabal, a standard Haskell build tool; the flagged 'external install' refers to normal dependency resolution during build, not execution of untrusted remote code.

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 builds from the official GitHub source using cabal, a standard Haskell build tool; the flagged 'external install' refers to normal dependency resolution during build, not execution of untrusted remote code.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
