LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The source is a tarball from a personal host not on the whitelist, but it is checksummed, and the package builds a simple rootkit detector from its own source; the realistic risk from a swapped source is low given the nature of the software and the presence of strong checksums.

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 source is a tarball from a personal host not on the whitelist, but it is checksummed, and the package builds a simple rootkit detector from its own source; the realistic risk from a swapped source is low given the nature of the software and the presence of strong checksums.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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