Why flagged

The package downloads a precompiled binary (.deb) from a non-standard host (layerbase.com/api/download) which is not a common code hosting platform, posing a supply-chain risk if the domain or download endpoint were 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, …).
