sdrsharp
The package downloads a source archive from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-maintained host (iz3mez.it) for building the official SDR# software; the build process is transparent and involves only local compilation and installation of legitimate binaries and icons, with no evidence of remote code execution or malicious behavior.
Triggered rules
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 a source archive from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-maintained host (iz3mez.it) for building the official SDR# software; the build process is transparent and involves only local compilation and installation of legitimate binaries and icons, with no evidence of remote code execution or malicious behavior.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
source_untrusted_domain
One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
