Why flagged

The package downloads a JAR file and a logo from the project's official domain, which is not on the analyzer's whitelist but is plausibly legitimate; the JAR is the project's own code, not a prebuilt executable from an unrelated third party, and the rest are data files.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 90%): The package downloads a JAR file and a logo from the project's official domain, which is not on the analyzer's whitelist but is plausibly legitimate; the JAR is the project's own code, not a prebuilt executable from an unrelated third party, and the rest are data files.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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