Why flagged

The source archive is a prebuilt 7z file hosted on the maintainer's personal domain (sl1pkn07.wtf) rather than an official upstream release host (e.g., GitHub, the original author's site). While the build process does compile C source extracted from the archive (not execute a prebuilt binary directly), the C source itself comes entirely from this personal host. If the host is compromised or the maintainer substitutes the archive, arbitrary C code would be compiled and installed as a VapourSynth plugin. The sha256 checksum provides integrity against transit tampering but not against the host owner substituting the file. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: executed/compiled code from a non-official personal host. The concern is real but not clearly malicious, consistent with MEDIUM severity.

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, …).
