Why flagged
The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-standard host via a redirect link, which is unverifiable and could be silently swapped, 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, …).
