Why flagged
The package downloads official Brother driver RPMs from download.brother.com, which is the vendor's legitimate domain; despite the static analyzer flagging it as a non-standard host, this is a normal and expected source for proprietary drivers, and the checksums are provided and verifiable.
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 official Brother driver RPMs from download.brother.com, which is the vendor's legitimate domain; despite the static analyzer flagging it as a non-standard host, this is a normal and expected source for proprietary drivers, and the checksums are provided and verifiable.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
