Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted, project-specific domain (mediahuman.com), which is not a generic file host but the official project site; however, the binary package is unverifiable and could be swapped by a malicious actor controlling the domain, 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, …).
