LOW

Why flagged The source is a shell script from the project's official website, which is not on a standard code hosting platform but is plausibly the upstream author's own domain; the script is installed as-is without obfuscation or remote code execution, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code within the script itself, which is expected for AUR packages building from upstream sources.

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 source is a shell script from the project's official website, which is not on a standard code hosting platform but is plausibly the upstream author's own domain; the script is installed as-is without obfuscation or remote code execution, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code within the script itself, which is expected for AUR packages building from upstream sources.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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