tbs-firmware
The package downloads firmware files from the official project domain tbsdtv.com, which is plausibly the project's own source; firmware files are non-executable data, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to non-code tampering.
Triggered rules
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 firmware files from the official project domain tbsdtv.com, which is plausibly the project's own source; firmware files are non-executable data, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to non-code tampering.
