Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-standard host (proton.me/download/meet/linux), which is an unverifiable executable artifact; if the host were compromised, an attacker could silently replace the binary, posing a 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, …).
