Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from overwolf.com, a domain plausibly related to the official CurseForge client, but not a standard open-source host; while likely legitimate, the binary nature and non-standard source with no upstream verifiable build make it a medium 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, …).
