LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a SystemRescue ISO from a Fastly CDN domain, which is used by the project, and extracts kernel/initramfs files to set up a systemd-boot entry; the source is not on a standard project domain but Fastly is a legitimate CDN, and the checksum is verified, making this a low-risk, typical use of a project's release infrastructure.

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 package downloads a SystemRescue ISO from a Fastly CDN domain, which is used by the project, and extracts kernel/initramfs files to set up a systemd-boot entry; the source is not on a standard project domain but Fastly is a legitimate CDN, and the checksum is verified, making this a low-risk, typical use of a project's release infrastructure.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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