Why flagged

The source is a tarball from a personal server not on the whitelist, but it is the project's own source code being built locally; the worst case of a swapped source would be code execution during build, but this is a common AUR pattern with low realistic risk given the project's nature and transparency.

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 tarball from a personal server not on the whitelist, but it is the project's own source code being built locally; the worst case of a swapped source would be code execution during build, but this is a common AUR pattern with low realistic risk given the project's nature and transparency.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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