MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt executable from a non-whitelisted host (downloads.claude.ai), which presents a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or the URL is spoofed, despite having a valid checksum.

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, …).
