pilot-git
The npx command is used to run electron-packager on the project's own source code from a trusted Git repository, which is a standard build step for Electron apps and does not execute untrusted remote code.
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 npx command is used to run electron-packager on the project's own source code from a trusted Git repository, which is a standard build step for Electron apps and does not execute untrusted remote code.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
remote_code_tool
`npx`/`bunx`/`pnpm dlx`/`deno run <url>` downloads AND runs a remote package at build time — the moral equivalent of piping a download into a shell. Severity downgraded: Node.js consumer context.
