Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb file from a non-whitelisted, non-standard host (cytrence.com) which is then extracted and installed; this constitutes an unverifiable prebuilt executable from a swappable host, creating a supply-chain risk if the source were compromised.

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, …).
