Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a GitHub release URL, which is an unverifiable executable artifact; if the host were compromised or the release tampered with, it could deliver malicious code, though the source is from the project's official repository.

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, …).
