LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official domain (vulkan.gpuinfo.org), which is plausibly the project's own release infrastructure; despite the non-whitelisted host, the source is verifiable via checksum and the AppImage is extracted to install legitimate binaries, posing low risk.

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 package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official domain (vulkan.gpuinfo.org), which is plausibly the project's own release infrastructure; despite the non-whitelisted host, the source is verifiable via checksum and the AppImage is extracted to install legitimate binaries, posing low risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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