xlax
The source is a tarball from a university-hosted personal page, but it is the project's own source code being built, not a prebuilt binary, and the checksums are provided and valid, making the risk low despite the non-standard host.
Triggered rules
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 source is a tarball from a university-hosted personal page, but it is the project's own source code being built, not a prebuilt binary, and the checksums are provided and valid, making the risk low despite the non-standard host.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
