Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted host (software.echoed.gg), which is not a standard or widely trusted domain, posing a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or malicious.

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, …).
