LOW

Why flagged The package downloads official Brother printer driver RPMs from brother.com's download subdomain, which is a legitimate source for this hardware; despite the non-whitelisted host, the content is expected and non-executable in a malicious sense, with low supply-chain risk due to vendor authenticity.
