MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage executable from a non-standard, project-specific host (r2.cheatbreaker.net), which is not on standard trust lists and could allow silent replacement of the binary; while the checksums are provided, the source is an unverifiable compiled artifact from a domain not universally recognized as a canonical infrastructure for a well-known project, creating a supply-chain 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, …).
