Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from mirrors.sdu.edu.cn (Shandong University mirror, a well-known Chinese academic mirror that hosts the Spark Store repository). The content is purely font files (Windows/MS Office fonts) — no executed binaries, no scripts run at build time beyond bsdtar extraction. The md5sums=('SKIP') is sloppy and means no integrity verification, which is a minor concern, but the host is a reputable Chinese university mirror rather than a random personal server. The fonts themselves are data files processed only by fontconfig. The PKGBUILD also has a minor bug (it extracts data.tar.xz without first extracting it from the .deb), making it likely broken in practice. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is a false positive — pure font data from a university mirror with no code execution is at most low risk, primarily due to the missing checksum.

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 82%): The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from mirrors.sdu.edu.cn (Shandong University mirror, a well-known Chinese academic mirror that hosts the Spark Store repository). The content is purely font files (Windows/MS Office fonts) — no executed binaries, no scripts run at build time beyond bsdtar extraction. The md5sums=('SKIP') is sloppy and means no integrity verification, which is a minor concern, but the host is a reputable Chinese university mirror rather than a random personal server.

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, …).
