LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from RStudio's official domain (download1.rstudio.org), which is plausibly the project's own release infrastructure; despite the non-whitelisted host, the source is official and verifiable via checksum, and the package installs only legitimate binaries and symlinks.
