Why flagged

The source is a versioned tarball from a plausible project-maintainer-controlled host (owl.de) used to build the project's own assembler tools; it is not an unverifiable binary or remote code execution, and the worst case of a swapped source would be supply-chain compromise, but the context suggests legitimate development infrastructure.

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 source is a versioned tarball from a plausible project-maintainer-controlled host (owl.de) used to build the project's own assembler tools; it is not an unverifiable binary or remote code execution, and the worst case of a swapped source would be supply-chain compromise, but the context suggests legitimate development infrastructure.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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