Why flagged

Installs a prebuilt binary from a low-reputation GitHub account (Redminote11tech/Codex-Native, few votes, recently uploaded) with no way to verify it is the legitimate project; additionally downloads a frontend zip from persistent.oaistatic.com and runs the prebuilt binary at build time (./codex-native extract-asar) — a swapped release asset could execute arbitrary code on the builder's machine.

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, …).
