Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage executable from a non-standard, non-whitelisted CDN host (cdn.squidservers.com), which is unverifiable and could be silently swapped; this presents a supply-chain risk despite originating from the project's own domain.

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, …).
