pianoteq-trial-bin
The source is a prebuilt trial binary from the official vendor's domain (implied by local file with matching checksum), and the non-whitelisted URL is only for an icon image, posing minimal risk.
Triggered rules
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 prebuilt trial binary from the official vendor's domain (implied by local file with matching checksum), and the non-whitelisted URL is only for an icon image, posing minimal risk.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
source_untrusted_domain
One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
