Why flagged

The package downloads a .deb from a non-whitelisted, project-specific domain (xprintertech.com) which is not on standard Linux distribution or CUPS infrastructure; the deb is extracted and a binary is installed into the CUPS filter system, posing a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or the download intercepted, though the checksum is verified.

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, …).
