Why flagged Two PNG image files are downloaded via curl outside the source=() array with no checksum verification from a personal S3 bucket. While this bypasses makepkg integrity checks, the files are pure image data installed into a SLiM theme directory and are never executed. Even a maliciously substituted PNG would not result in code execution in this context. The packaging practice is poor (assets should be in source=() with checksums), but the actual security impact is negligible.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 78%): Two PNG image files are downloaded via curl outside the source=() array with no checksum verification from a personal S3 bucket. While this bypasses makepkg integrity checks, the files are pure image data installed into a SLiM theme directory and are never executed. Even a maliciously substituted PNG would not result in code execution in this context. The packaging practice is poor (assets should be in source=() with checksums), but the actual security impact is negligible.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
MEDIUM External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.
