Why flagged

The package downloads official Brother driver RPMs from brother.com's download subdomain, which is the vendor's legitimate distribution channel; despite the static analyzer flag for a non-standard host, the source is trustworthy and the package installs only vendor-provided printer drivers without executing unverified remote code.

Triggered rules
