Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-standard host (jriver-cdn.com), which is not inherently malicious but presents a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or the download is intercepted, as the binary is directly extracted and installed without additional verification beyond the hash.

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, …).
