Why flagged

A prebuilt binary is downloaded from api-v2.private-discuss.com, which is the project's own API subdomain but not a widely recognized official release infrastructure; the binary is installed as an executable with a checksum provided, but it is a closed-source proprietary binary from a low-vote, recently uploaded package with no independent verification possible.

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, …).
