MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a Synology-hosted domain, which is plausible but not on a standard whitelist; installing a prebuilt binary from an unverifiable source with a fixed checksum carries a moderate supply-chain risk if the host were compromised.

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, …).

MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
