rightlink-bin
The package downloads a source tarball from a project-owned domain (rightlink.rightscale.com) which is plausibly the official RightScale infrastructure; the tarball contains the project's own binaries, which are standard for such agents, and there is no evidence of obfuscation or remote code execution.
