MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (parsec.app), which hosts an unverifiable executable; while likely legitimate, the lack of source transparency and checksum verification on a swappable host poses a moderate 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, …).
