LOW

Why flagged Downloads a prebuilt binary from peak-system.com (the vendor's own official Debian repository) and a libncurses6 deb from deb.debian.org; both have pinned sha256 checksums, so the sources are verifiable and come from plausibly authoritative infrastructure, making this a normal binary-repackaging AUR package with no signs of malice.

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 (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 80%): Downloads a prebuilt binary from peak-system.com (the vendor's own official Debian repository) and a libncurses6 deb from deb.debian.org; both have pinned sha256 checksums, so the sources are verifiable and come from plausibly authoritative infrastructure, making this a normal binary-repackaging AUR package with no signs of malice.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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