Why flagged

The package downloads the official installer and documentation from the vendor's own domains (buhl.de, buhl-data.com), which are plausibly controlled by the software vendor; the files are not executed remotely but extracted and repackaged locally, and the PDF documentation having a SKIP'd checksum does not enable code execution.

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 the official installer and documentation from the vendor's own domains (buhl.de, buhl-data.com), which are plausibly controlled by the software vendor; the files are not executed remotely but extracted and repackaged locally, and the PDF documentation having a SKIP'd checksum does not enable code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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