Triggered rules

Low Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

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, …).
