Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted but project-owned GitLab instance (gitlab.futo.org), which is used to extract and install binaries; while the host is not standard, it is plausibly official and the AppImage checksum is verified, reducing risk from arbitrary code execution but still presenting a supply-chain risk if the source were swapped.

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, …).
