Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from a non-standard host (get.plask.app), which is not a common code forge or official distribution channel, and the checksum, while present, cannot be independently verified against a public upstream source, creating a supply-chain risk if the host is 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, …).
