MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt encrypted binary (.enc) from a personal/project-owned but non-standard host (repo.agentics.co.za) and installs it to /opt/agentics; the file is described as decrypted and executed at runtime by a separate launcher, meaning the actual code executed is opaque and unverifiable — a swapped or malicious .enc file would result in arbitrary code execution with no way to audit the payload.

Triggered rules

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, …).
