Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (downloads.cinc.sh) which is not a standard code hosting platform, and the checksum is provided but the source is a binary distribution that could be tampered with if the host were 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, …).
