qemu-pebble
The package downloads a tarball from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned host (developer.rebble.io) to extract and install a single binary; the source is not executed remotely, and the project is legitimate, making the realistic worst case a supply-chain compromise of official assets, not arbitrary code execution.

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 tarball from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned host (developer.rebble.io) to extract and install a single binary; the source is not executed remotely, and the project is legitimate, making the realistic worst case a supply-chain compromise of official assets, not arbitrary code execution.
