LOW

Why flagged The package builds from source hosted on a non-whitelisted but project-associated domain, which is normal for AUR packages; the source is not a prebuilt binary, and the license and build steps are standard, posing no real security risk.

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 90%): The package builds from source hosted on a non-whitelisted but project-associated domain, which is normal for AUR packages; the source is not a prebuilt binary, and the license and build steps are standard, posing no real security risk.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

PKGBUILD:11 source=("http://hippo.nipax.cz/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz"

MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
