Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from downloads.codetracer.com, a non-whitelisted host not commonly used for official releases, which could be swapped with malicious code; while the AppImage is from the project's own domain, the lack of verifiable build process and reliance on a binary from a non-standard host raises supply-chain concerns.

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, …).
