Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from a non-whitelisted host (repo.yandex.ru), which is an official Yandex domain but not on the analyzer's whitelist; the binary is unpacked and installed without verification beyond a fixed checksum, creating a supply-chain risk if the source 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, …).
