Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a CloudFront URL, which is an unverifiable executable from a host that, while likely legitimate, is not the project's primary domain and could be subject to supply-chain risks if compromised.

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, …).
