LOW

View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a source zip from vim.org's script download system and a LICENSE file from GitHub; both are plausible project sources, and the zip is used to install Vim plugin files, which are data, not executable code.

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 90%): The package downloads a source zip from vim.org's script download system and a LICENSE file from GitHub; both are plausible project sources, and the zip is used to install Vim plugin files, which are data, not executable code.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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