peerflix-server
The npm install command fetches and installs the package 'peerflix-server' at a specific version from the official npm registry, which is the expected and legitimate source for this Node.js application; the flagged 'undeclared external package' is in fact the primary package being installed, not a hidden dependency, and the source is trustworthy.
Triggered rules
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 npm install command fetches and installs the package 'peerflix-server' at a specific version from the official npm registry, which is the expected and legitimate source for this Node.js application; the flagged 'undeclared external package' is in fact the primary package being installed, not a hidden dependency, and the source is trustworthy.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
npm_install_external
Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.
