Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the official vendor domain, but the payload is an unverifiable executable; while the domain is legitimate, the lack of source code access and binary-only distribution creates a supply-chain risk if the vendor's 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, …).
