MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the official Bitwig domain, but the URL is obfuscated with spaces and encoding; while the host is legitimate, the unverifiable remote binary from a non-standard URL pattern and skipped integrity check (no source URL comment) creates a supply-chain risk if the domain were ever compromised.

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, …).
