LOW

Why flagged The downloaded file is a prebuilt server binary from the project's own release script, verified with a checksum from the same source repository; this is a normal build step for scrcpy and not a supply-chain risk.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this HIGH, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The downloaded file is a prebuilt server binary from the project's own release script, verified with a checksum from the same source repository; this is a normal build step for scrcpy and not a supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

HIGH Downloaded file is executed download_then_exec

A file fetched with curl/wget (not part of source=(), so never checksum-verified) is later made executable or run — a fetch-and-execute pattern split across statements.
