LOW

Why flagged The pip install of pyinstaller and uv sync are part of the build process for the application's own source from a trusted GitHub repository, not execution of untrusted external code.

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 pip install of pyinstaller and uv sync are part of the build process for the application's own source from a trusted GitHub repository, not execution of untrusted external code.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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:50 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:50 uv pip install pyinstaller
