Why flagged A prebuilt binary .deb is downloaded from Dropbox (a personal/unofficial host with no content-addressable guarantee beyond a weak MD5 checksum). The .deb's data.tar.xz is extracted and installed directly into the package tree, meaning whatever binaries/scripts are inside get installed to the system. Dropbox links can be silently replaced by the owner at any time, and MD5 is cryptographically broken and trivially collided. The maintainer's blog URL suggests this is a personal project distributed via personal cloud storage rather than any official release infrastructure. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: an executed binary from an unofficial, swappable host with only a broken hash for integrity. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is correct.
