Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from a non-whitelisted host (cdn.devolutions.net), which is not inherently malicious but presents a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or the download redirected, as the binary is not built from source and could be silently replaced.

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, …).
