Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • org.sturdyfool10.VertexLauncher claims the domain sturdyfool10.org; only its owner can prove that
    publisher:namespace
  • fetches from archive.ubuntu.com over unencrypted http: anyone on the path can swap the bytes (x4)
    source:insecure-url
  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source (x4)
    source:prebuilt
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    vertexlauncher:build-options:--share=network
