Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from an official vendor domain (couchbase.com), which is the project's own release infrastructure, but the source is a binary package that is not built from source and has a verifiable checksum; while the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is the legitimate project domain, reducing risk, but the use of a non-standard host pattern and unreviewed prebuilt executable still presents a moderate supply-chain risk if the download were silently swapped.

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, …).
