Why flagged

The source is a prebuilt binary zip pulled from graphscad.free.fr, which is a Free.fr personal/project hosting subdomain. This is the project's own hosting (the blog is graphscad.blogspot.com and the download host is graphscad.free.fr, consistent with the same project author), not a random third-party mirror. However, Free.fr is not official release infrastructure with strong integrity guarantees, and the package installs a prebuilt executable binary directly to /opt/graphscad/graphscad without building from source. A sha256sum is provided, which mitigates substitution risk at download time, but the binary itself is opaque and comes from a personal hosting service. This is a genuine medium-severity supply-chain concern: an executed binary from an unofficial/personal host, not clearly malicious but not verifiably safe either.

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, …).
