todoist-appimage
The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-standard host (electron-dl.todoist.net), which is not a common code hosting platform, creating a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or spoofed, though it is plausibly an official source for the application.
Triggered rules
source_untrusted_domain
One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
