Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from RStudio's official S3 bucket, which is a legitimate source for RStudio binaries; while the host is not whitelisted, it is plausibly official and the package installs only verified data and binaries from the project's own release infrastructure.

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 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from RStudio's official S3 bucket, which is a legitimate source for RStudio binaries; while the host is not whitelisted, it is plausibly official and the package installs only verified data and binaries from the project's own release infrastructure.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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