Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage and an ARM binary from a non-whitelisted, project-owned domain (aprstac.com), which could be swapped by an unrelated party; however, the binaries are from the official project site and checksums are provided, reducing but not eliminating risk.

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, …).
