Why flagged

The package downloads prebuilt binaries from the project's official update server (prowlarr.servarr.com), which is plausibly controlled by the project maintainers; despite the non-whitelisted host, the binaries are verified via sha256sums and the worst case of a malicious swap is limited to code execution within the service sandbox, but given the source is the official project infrastructure, this is a standard and expected AUR packaging pattern.

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 prebuilt binaries from the project's official update server (prowlarr.servarr.com), which is plausibly controlled by the project maintainers; despite the non-whitelisted host, the binaries are verified via sha256sums and the worst case of a malicious swap is limited to code execution within the service sandbox, but given the source is the official project infrastructure, this is a standard and expected AUR packaging pattern.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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