LOW

Why flagged The package builds a Perl module from a local 'translator' script with a skipped checksum, but no remote code execution or malicious payload is evident; the risk is limited to the unverified local script being potentially tampered with, but it is likely part of the build process for a legitimate CPAN module.

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 a Perl module from a local 'translator' script with a skipped checksum, but no remote code execution or malicious payload is evident; the risk is limited to the unverified local script being potentially tampered with, but it is likely part of the build process for a legitimate CPAN module.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
