Why flagged

The .deb is downloaded from dldir1v6.qq.com which is Tencent's own official CDN for WeChat Linux, has a pinned sha256 checksum, and is extracted normally; the bundled wechat.sh launcher script is a local file with a pinned checksum, so no unverifiable remote code execution occurs — the main concern is that this is a proprietary binary repackage from a community maintainer with few votes, but the sources are plausibly official.

Triggered rules

Low Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 70%): The .deb is downloaded from dldir1v6.qq.com which is Tencent's own official CDN for WeChat Linux, has a pinned sha256 checksum, and is extracted normally; the bundled wechat.sh launcher script is a local file with a pinned checksum, so no unverifiable remote code execution occurs — the main concern is that this is a proprietary binary repackage from a community maintainer with few votes, but the sources are plausibly official.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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