Why flagged

The package downloads a Vim plugin ball (vba.gz) from the author's personal domain, which is not on a standard host whitelist, but the content is a source archive for a Vim plugin that is unpacked and installed locally; the worst case of a swapped source would be malicious Vim script execution, but given the plugin's nature and the checksum verification, the risk is low.

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 package downloads a Vim plugin ball (vba.gz) from the author's personal domain, which is not on a standard host whitelist, but the content is a source archive for a Vim plugin that is unpacked and installed locally; the worst case of a swapped source would be malicious Vim script execution, but given the plugin's nature and the checksum verification, the risk is low.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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