Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (digital-watchdog.com), which is not a generic file host but plausibly the official vendor; however, the unverifiable binary nature of the artifact and lack of source code access creates a supply-chain risk if the domain 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, …).
