Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (get.extera.xyz) with a skipped checksum, representing a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or controlled by an unrelated party.

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, …).
