MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from a non-whitelisted host (rm-eu.palemoon.org), which is not a standard or widely trusted domain, creating a supply-chain risk if the domain were compromised or maliciously redirected.

Triggered rules

MEDIUM source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain
