MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (overwolf.com), which is not the project's primary source; while Overwolf is the official distributor, the lack of verifiable source code and use of a binary-only distribution from a third-party domain constitutes a supply-chain risk.

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, …).
