MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted but project-related API domain; while the checksum is verified, the source is an unverifiable binary executable from a non-standard host, posing a potential 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, …).
