LOW

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

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review
