LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a CUPS wrapper .deb from Brother's official download domain, which is a standard practice for printer drivers; the file is a prebuilt binary from the vendor, not an obfuscated payload or remote code, and Brother's download host, while not a common forge, is plausibly official for this hardware.

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 CUPS wrapper .deb from Brother's official download domain, which is a standard practice for printer drivers; the file is a prebuilt binary from the vendor, not an obfuscated payload or remote code, and Brother's download host, while not a common forge, is plausibly official for this hardware.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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