Why flagged

The source tarball is hosted on Dropbox (a personal/unofficial file-sharing host) rather than the project's official GitHub releases or any canonical upstream mirror. While a sha1sum is provided, SHA-1 is cryptographically weak and the Dropbox link includes session/key parameters that could theoretically serve different content to different requesters. The project's GitHub page (marek629.github.io/SIR) exists but the source is not pulled from GitHub releases. This is a compiled C++/Qt application built from source, so the concern is whether the tarball content is authentic upstream source. The combination of a personal Dropbox host, weak SHA-1 checksum, and parameterized URL constitutes a genuine (if not clearly malicious) supply-chain concern for executed/compiled code. Medium is the correct rating.

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, …).
