Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted host (downloads.visorcraft.com), which is an unverifiable executable; a malicious actor could silently replace it, posing a supply-chain risk.

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, …).
