LOW
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads prebuilt .deb files from Tencent's official domain (dldir1v6.qq.com) for WeChat, a proprietary application; although checksums are skipped, the source is from the official vendor, and the package merely repackages it without executing untrusted code or modifying the binary.

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 prebuilt .deb files from Tencent's official domain (dldir1v6.qq.com) for WeChat, a proprietary application; although checksums are skipped, the source is from the official vendor, and the package merely repackages it without executing untrusted code or modifying the binary.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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