LOW

Why flagged The source is a Python script from the project maintainer's personal domain, which is not on a standard forge but is plausibly the official source; the package installs only this script and patch files, with no obfuscated code or remote execution, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code execution within the script's intended functionality.

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 Python script from the project maintainer's personal domain, which is not on a standard forge but is plausibly the official source; the package installs only this script and patch files, with no obfuscated code or remote execution, and the worst case of a swapped source is limited to code execution within the script's intended functionality.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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