LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged
The package downloads prebuilt .deb files from a CloudFront CDN (non-whitelisted host) but verifies them with sha512sums; the worst case of a malicious swap is limited to executing untrusted code during install, but the checksums mitigate supply-chain risk, and the source is plausibly official.
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 prebuilt .deb files from a CloudFront CDN (non-whitelisted host) but verifies them with sha512sums; the worst case of a malicious swap is limited to executing untrusted code during install, but the checksums mitigate supply-chain risk, and the source is plausibly official.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
