Why flagged The package downloads a Brother official RPM driver from download.brother.com, which is the vendor's legitimate domain; the source is a prebuilt binary but from the official vendor, so despite the non-whitelisted host, it is not inherently malicious.

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 official RPM driver from download.brother.com, which is the vendor's legitimate domain; the source is a prebuilt binary but from the official vendor, so despite the non-whitelisted host, it is not inherently malicious.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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