Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-standard host (api.wooting.io) which is not on the whitelist; while likely legitimate, the unverifiable executable poses a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or the download redirected.

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, …).
