poly-via-bin
The package downloads a source tarball from the official project domain (polymtl.sviesolutions.com), which is plausibly the legitimate host for PolyMTL's VIA app; despite the non-whitelisted host and skipped checksum, it installs only static files and desktop integrations without executing remote code or introducing untrusted binaries.
