MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage executable from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (voiden.md), which is an unverifiable binary and could be trivially swapped by an unrelated party, posing a supply-chain risk.

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, …).
