Why flagged

Downloads a prebuilt proprietary .deb binary from the vendor's own official domain (expandrive.com) but with a SKIP'd checksum, meaning any silent swap of the binary at that URL cannot be detected; the source is the official vendor domain so it's not a random personal host, but the lack of checksum verification on an executable is a real supply-chain concern.

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, …).
