Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a project-owned but non-whitelisted host; while the checksum is verified, the source is a binary distribution that could be swapped upstream, posing a supply-chain risk if the host is 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, …).
