Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt tarball from a non-standard host (a game master server domain) which is not a typical source for verifiable upstream code, posing a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or the file is silently swapped.

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, …).
