wcstools-all
The source is downloaded from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned academic host (Harvard University) and consists of a standard source tarball; building from project-maintained upstream sources is normal for AUR packages and poses low risk.
Triggered rules
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 source is downloaded from a non-whitelisted but plausibly project-owned academic host (Harvard University) and consists of a standard source tarball; building from project-maintained upstream sources is normal for AUR packages and poses low risk.
