MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a tarball from zsnes.com, a non-whitelisted and non-standard host for software distribution, containing prebuilt binaries (UnityPlayer.so, executable, data) that are installed and executed, creating a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or the download is 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, …).
