LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a driver RPM from Brother's official download domain, which is a legitimate source for proprietary drivers, and installs it as part of a standard AUR build; the non-whitelisted host is a false concern as 'download.brother.com' is an official Brother support domain.

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1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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