vulkan-caps-viewer-x11-bin
The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted host (vulkan.gpuinfo.org), which is not a major trusted CDN or official vendor domain; while the project's own site, the AppImage is an unverifiable executable that could be swapped if the host is compromised, posing a supply-chain risk.
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, …).
