Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from a non-whitelisted but plausibly official vendor host (cdn.devolutions.net); while the source is not directly executable code, the unverifiable prebuilt binary from a swappable host presents a supply-chain risk if the host 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, …).
