View on AUR

Why flagged

The source is a shell script from the project's own official domain (timedicer.co.uk), which is plausibly the maintainer's project site; building from such a source is normal for AUR packages, even if the host is non-whitelisted, and the script is directly installed as the package content.

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 source is a shell script from the project's own official domain (timedicer.co.uk), which is plausibly the maintainer's project site; building from such a source is normal for AUR packages, even if the host is non-whitelisted, and the script is directly installed as the package content.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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