LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The source is a full release tarball from the project's academic home institution (eecg.utoronto.ca), which is plausible and non-malicious; building from project-owned source with a skipped checksum is common in AUR and not inherently dangerous.

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 90%): The source is a full release tarball from the project's academic home institution (eecg.utoronto.ca), which is plausible and non-malicious; building from project-owned source with a skipped checksum is common in AUR and not inherently dangerous.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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