Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from a non-whitelisted host (downloads.cinc.sh), which presents a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or the download redirected, though it is plausibly the project's official source.

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, …).
