LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt Adobe Flash Player binary from Adobe's official domain (fpdownload.macromedia.com), which is a legitimate source for Flash releases; despite the non-whitelisted host, the binary is from the official vendor and the worst-case impact of a swapped source is limited to a known, signed legacy binary.
