Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt executable from a non-standard host (dl-cli.pstmn.io), which is not on the whitelist and could be a supply-chain risk if the domain were compromised, though it is plausibly Postman's official infrastructure.

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, …).
