Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt Windows executable (Kimi-Setup) from a non-standard host (moonshot.cn) which is then extracted and repackaged; while the intent is to repackage for Linux, the source is an unverifiable binary from a non-whitelisted, project-adjacent host, creating a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or the download intercepted.

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, …).
