LOW

Why flagged The package downloads the original game ISO and strategy guide from archive.org and a community site, which are non-whitelisted but plausible archival sources; however, these are data files, not executable code, and the build process only converts media, posing minimal 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-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads the original game ISO and strategy guide from archive.org and a community site, which are non-whitelisted but plausible archival sources; however, these are data files, not executable code, and the build process only converts media, posing minimal security risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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