Description

Scans AUR package build files for suspicious or malicious patterns before installation. It is useful for Arch users who want an extra review step before trusting third-party PKGBUILDs.

Scanners reduce risk but cannot prove a package is safe. Read flagged files yourself and avoid installing packages you do not understand.
