Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from a non-whitelisted host (hyper8.org), which is not a standard distribution point like GitHub or GitLab; if the host were compromised, an attacker could silently replace the binary, posing a supply-chain risk.

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, …).
