MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from the vendor's official domain, which is not on the standard whitelist; while the source is from the project's official site, the unverifiable prebuilt executable poses a moderate supply-chain risk if the release infrastructure 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, …).
