View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The source is a prebuilt binary from a plausible project-related host (necds-engineering.com) used for a legitimate NEC monitor profiling tool; while the host is not standard, it is contextually relevant and the package installs only data and binaries from that source without executing untrusted code or exfiltrating data.

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 prebuilt binary from a plausible project-related host (necds-engineering.com) used for a legitimate NEC monitor profiling tool; while the host is not standard, it is contextually relevant and the package installs only data and binaries from that source without executing untrusted code or exfiltrating data.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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