LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a cursor theme tarball from a Wayback Machine archive, which is non-standard but used due to upstream link instability; the content is non-executable data, and the checksum is verified, limiting risk to cosmetic changes at worst.

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 downloads a cursor theme tarball from a Wayback Machine archive, which is non-standard but used due to upstream link instability; the content is non-executable data, and the checksum is verified, limiting risk to cosmetic changes at worst.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

PKGBUILD:20 curl -fsSL 'https://www.pling.com/p/999928/loadFiles' |

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, …).
