Why flagged

The source is downloaded from ftp.project-builder.org, which is the official upstream FTP server for the ProjectBuilder project (not CPAN/MetaCPAN, but the project's own distribution server). The MetaCPAN URL is listed as the package URL, confirming this is the legitimate upstream. The tarball is a Perl source distribution built with standard Makefile.PL/make toolchain — no pre-compiled binaries, no obfuscation. The checksums (md5 + sha512) are present and provide integrity verification. The version mismatch between pkgver (0.16.1) and _distdir (0.14.1) is sloppy and would likely cause a build failure, but is not a security concern. Overall this is a legitimate package from the project's own FTP server with integrity checks; the non-CPAN host is not a meaningful supply-chain risk for an open-source Perl module distributed by its own author.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 82%): The source is downloaded from ftp.project-builder.org, which is the official upstream FTP server for the ProjectBuilder project (not CPAN/MetaCPAN, but the project's own distribution server). The MetaCPAN URL is listed as the package URL, confirming this is the legitimate upstream. The tarball is a Perl source distribution built with standard Makefile.PL/make toolchain — no pre-compiled binaries, no obfuscation. The checksums (md5 + sha512) are present and provide integrity verification.

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, …).
