Why flagged

The package downloads a font file from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned personal host; the worst case of a swapped source is limited to a malicious font, which is a low-severity risk compared to executable code or scripts.

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 font file from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned personal host; the worst case of a swapped source is limited to a malicious font, which is a low-severity risk compared to executable code or scripts.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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