View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a Brother-provided LPR driver RPM from an official brother.com subdomain for self-installation; this is a standard AUR pattern for proprietary drivers, and the source, while on a non-whitelisted host, is plausibly official and the installed content is non-executable data/configs.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a Brother-provided LPR driver RPM from an official brother.com subdomain for self-installation; this is a standard AUR pattern for proprietary drivers, and the source, while on a non-whitelisted host, is plausibly official and the installed content is non-executable data/configs.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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