MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from Ledger's official domain, which is a legitimate source, but the static analyzer flagged the non-standard host; however, since it's the project's official release infrastructure and the checksum is verified, the actual risk is low, but the unverifiable nature of the binary executable from a non-whitelisted host context warrants a medium rating due to potential supply-chain compromise if the source were swapped.

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, …).
