Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt RPM from a non-standard path on downloads.mongodb.com, which is the official vendor domain, but the lack of a standard release URL pattern and the binary nature of the RPM create a supply-chain risk if the source were silently swapped, warranting medium severity.

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, …).
