Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage executable from a non-whitelisted host (rs-launcher-updates.runescape.com), which is not a standard code hosting platform, creating a supply-chain risk if the host or file is compromised.

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, …).
