MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-whitelisted, project-owned S3 bucket (s3.pulsesync.dev); while the host is specific to the project, the source is an unverifiable executable with a matching checksum, posing a supply-chain risk if the upstream were compromised.

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, …).
