Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-whitelisted but project-related host (css-ig.net), which is the official site for pingo; the binary is not executed directly in the build but installed for later use via wine, and the source is versioned and checksummed, reducing supply-chain risk.

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 downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-whitelisted but project-related host (css-ig.net), which is the official site for pingo; the binary is not executed directly in the build but installed for later use via wine, and the source is versioned and checksummed, reducing supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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