MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt executable tarball from a non-whitelisted but plausibly official Postman domain; while the host is not standard, it is project-related, yet the lack of verifiable upstream source and use of a prebuilt binary from a non-standard URL creates 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, …).
