Why flagged

The source is a prebuilt game client from the official project CDN, which is plausibly controlled by the developer; while the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is directly related to the project and the downloaded content is a legitimate part of the application, not an obfuscated or malicious payload.

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 prebuilt game client from the official project CDN, which is plausibly controlled by the developer; while the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is directly related to the project and the downloaded content is a legitimate part of the application, not an obfuscated or malicious payload.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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