LOW

Why flagged The PKGBUILD sources the main project and two submodules (StreamSaver.js and yeetfile-js) all from well-known git forges (GitHub and sr.ht) pinned to a specific tag for the main repo. The submodules use SKIP checksums, which is normal for git submodule sources in AUR. The 'npm install --no-save typescript@5.5.4' installs a pinned, specific version of TypeScript from the official npm registry — this is a build-time tool dependency, not an arbitrary remote script execution. The 'npx tsc' invocation uses the locally installed typescript package (just installed via npm), not a remote package fetch; npx will use the local node_modules/.bin/tsc. The Go build uses 'go mod download' with 'go mod verify', which provides integrity checking. The overall pattern is a legitimate build process for a self-hosted encrypted file sharing tool. The main concern is that npm fetches typescript@5.5.4 from the npm registry at build time without a lockfile checksum in the PKGBUILD, but this is a well-known, widely-used package at a specific version, making supply-chain risk low rather than medium.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 82%): The PKGBUILD sources the main project and two submodules (StreamSaver.js and yeetfile-js) all from well-known git forges (GitHub and sr.ht) pinned to a specific tag for the main repo. The submodules use SKIP checksums, which is normal for git submodule sources in AUR. The 'npm install --no-save typescript@5.5.4' installs a pinned, specific version of TypeScript from the official npm registry — this is a build-time tool dependency, not an arbitrary remote script execution.

2 higher static findings superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.

PKGBUILD:49 npm install --no-save typescript@5.5.4

MEDIUM npx/bunx/deno executes a remote package remote_code_tool

`npx`/`bunx`/`pnpm dlx`/`deno run <url>` downloads AND runs a remote package at build time — the moral equivalent of piping a download into a shell. Severity downgraded: Node.js consumer context.

PKGBUILD:69 npx tsc --removeComments
