Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted, project-specific host (r2.cheatbreaker.net), which is an unverifiable executable that could be silently replaced with malicious code; however, it is checksummed and part of the official project's distribution, 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, …).
