Why flagged

The package installs setuid binaries and modifies system groups for legitimate TUN device access in a proxy tool, which is expected behavior for its functionality and not inherently malicious.

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 installs setuid binaries and modifies system groups for legitimate TUN device access in a proxy tool, which is expected behavior for its functionality and not inherently malicious.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
Medium Privileged / out-of-pacman install (sudoers, setuid, or self-update) privileged_install

The package grants elevated privileges or installs an update path outside pacman: a /etc/sudoers.d rule (often passwordless), a setuid/setgid binary, or a self-update script/service that can fetch and run future code with no checksum verification. The initial install may be verified, but the ongoing privilege + update surface is a real supply-chain / privilege-escalation risk.

  • .install:15 chmod 4750 /usr/bin/v2ray-rs-run 2>/dev/null || true
