LOW

Why flagged The package downloads official Brother printer driver RPMs from brother.com's download subdomain, which is a standard source for this vendor's drivers; despite the static analyzer flag for a non-whitelisted host, the source is legitimate and the build process only extracts and relocates files, posing no execution or supply-chain risk.

Triggered rules
