Why flagged The package downloads a Brother-provided .deb file from an official brother.com subdomain for installation; this is a standard practice for proprietary printer drivers, and the file is a known software wrapper, not an obfuscated payload or remote code execution risk.

Triggered rules

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
MEDIUM source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain
