Why flagged

The package downloads an AppImage and signature from GitHub and app.tuta.com, which are plausible project hosts; the AppImage is verified using a separately downloaded public key, and the build process is transparent, posing no direct risk of remote code execution or data exfiltration.

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 95%): The package downloads an AppImage and signature from GitHub and app.tuta.com, which are plausible project hosts; the AppImage is verified using a separately downloaded public key, and the build process is transparent, posing no direct risk of remote code execution or data exfiltration.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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