LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from Evernote's own CDN domain (cdn1.evernote.com), which is plausibly official; the source is a binary release from the vendor, not an untrusted third party, so while the host is not whitelisted, the context suggests it is legitimate and expected for this software.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review
