View on AUR

Why flagged

The source is a tarball from a project-owned server (zap.org.au), which is not on the standard whitelist but plausibly legitimate; building from project source is normal AUR practice, and the software is open-source with a verifiable PGP signature, making the realistic worst case low impact even if the host were compromised.

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 tarball from a project-owned server (zap.org.au), which is not on the standard whitelist but plausibly legitimate; building from project source is normal AUR practice, and the software is open-source with a verifiable PGP signature, making the realistic worst case low impact even if the host were compromised.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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