Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (betterbird.eu), which is not a major public repository or official mirror, and the checksum, while present, cannot be independently verified against upstream sources, creating a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or malicious.

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, …).
