Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt tarball from a non-whitelisted host (download.wavebox.app), which is not a generic file host but the project's own domain; however, the lack of a verifiable upstream source and reliance on an unreviewed prebuilt binary bundle creates a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised.

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, …).
