LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from the project's official update infrastructure (updates.safing.io), which is plausibly controlled by the vendor; while not on a standard code host, it is part of the project's release distribution, and the binary is installed in /opt without additional post-install scripts or remote code execution.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review
