Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (artifact.lx.netease.com), which hosts an executable payload; while likely official, the source is unverifiable and could be silently swapped, posing a supply-chain risk.

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, …).
