MEDIUM

View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (voiden.md), which is an unverifiable executable and poses a supply-chain risk if the domain is compromised or 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, …).
