LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from Overwolf's official domain, which is the legitimate distributor of CurseForge; while the host is not a standard open-source forge, it is the project's official vendor, making the source appropriate despite the non-whitelisted host.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

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, …).
