LOW

Why flagged The package downloads official Plastic SCM GUI binaries from the vendor's S3 bucket; while the host is non-standard, the files are checksum-verified and part of the legitimate software distribution, posing no active threat.

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 official Plastic SCM GUI binaries from the vendor's S3 bucket; while the host is non-standard, the files are checksum-verified and part of the legitimate software distribution, posing no active threat.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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