MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the vendor's own domain (signalyst.com), which is not on standard whitelists but plausibly official; however, using an unverifiable binary blob from a non-source build with a fixed checksum presents a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised, warranting medium severity.

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, …).
