Why flagged

The package downloads official Brother driver RPMs from the vendor's own download domain (download.brother.com), which is a legitimate source despite not being on standard whitelists; the files are not executed directly but extracted and installed as part of a normal driver package build, posing minimal risk.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
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, …).
