LOW

View on AUR

Why flagged

The package builds binutils from source using a tarball from a reputable university mirror (USTC), which is a common and reasonable practice; the source is not executed remotely, and the software is built from official GNU project code, making the risk low despite the non-whitelisted host and skipped checksums.

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 95%): The package builds binutils from source using a tarball from a reputable university mirror (USTC), which is a common and reasonable practice; the source is not executed remotely, and the software is built from official GNU project code, making the risk low despite the non-whitelisted host and skipped checksums.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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