View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from Brother's official download domain for a proprietary CUPS wrapper, which is normal for such drivers; the source is not whitelisted but is from the vendor's legitimate infrastructure, and the checksum is verified.

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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from Brother's official download domain for a proprietary CUPS wrapper, which is normal for such drivers; the source is not whitelisted but is from the vendor's legitimate infrastructure, and the checksum is verified.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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