Why flagged

A prebuilt binary tarball is downloaded from emeric.io (a personal domain belonging to the maintainer) rather than from an official upstream host. The original upstream (kolor.com/gopro-vr-player) is defunct, and the maintainer is self-hosting an archived copy. While the sha256sum provides integrity verification and the maintainer appears to be the same person (emeric.grange@gmail.com / emeric.io), this is still a prebuilt closed-source binary from a personal host with no way to verify it matches any official release. If emeric.io were compromised or the maintainer acted maliciously, users would execute arbitrary code. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: executed binary from an unofficial/personal host, not a false positive.

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, …).
