Why flagged Downloads and installs a prebuilt binary .deb from a GitHub Pages host (minecraft-linux.github.io) with a SKIP'd checksum, meaning the binary cannot be verified; while the host appears to be the project's own distribution channel, the SKIP'd checksum means a silently swapped or tampered binary would go undetected.

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, …).
