View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a modded version of The Powder Toy from a plausible project-related host (starcatcher.us, associated with the game's community) and an icon from its static asset domain; both are used as data or for building, with no evidence of malicious or remote code execution, and the source is a prebuilt binary mod from a known developer, not an arbitrary remote executable.

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-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a modded version of The Powder Toy from a plausible project-related host (starcatcher.us, associated with the game's community) and an icon from its static asset domain; both are used as data or for building, with no evidence of malicious or remote code execution, and the source is a prebuilt binary mod from a known developer, not an arbitrary remote executable.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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