MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (files.getgrass.io), which is not a standard code hosting platform, and installs it without source verification, posing a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or malicious.

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, …).
