Why flagged

The PKGBUILD pulls pyinstxtractor-ng from its official GitHub repository (github.com/pyinstxtractor/pyinstxtractor-ng-git) and uses uv to install pyinstaller from PyPI solely as a build tool to bundle the Python script into a standalone binary. PyInstaller is a well-known, widely-used PyPI package. The resulting installed artifact is a single compiled binary placed in /usr/bin. While installing an unversioned/unpinned PyPI package at build time is not ideal from a reproducibility standpoint, this is a standard pattern for packaging Python tools and does not represent a meaningful supply-chain risk beyond what any PyPI-dependent package carries. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is a false positive — there is no unofficial or personal host involved, no obfuscation, and no executed binary from an untrusted source. The main concern is the lack of a pinned pyinstaller version, which is a low-severity packaging quality issue.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 72%): The PKGBUILD pulls pyinstxtractor-ng from its official GitHub repository (github.com/pyinstxtractor/pyinstxtractor-ng-git) and uses uv to install pyinstaller from PyPI solely as a build tool to bundle the Python script into a standalone binary.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:25 uv pip install pyinstaller

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:25 uv pip install pyinstaller
