MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (update-desktop.redact.dev), which presents a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or the download is intercepted, though the checksum is verified.

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, …).
