LOW

Why flagged The package downloads official Brother printer driver RPMs from brother.com's public servers, which is normal for proprietary drivers; the host is not whitelisted but is plausibly official, and the checksums are provided, making this a standard, low-risk AUR package for building from official vendor sources.

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 printer driver RPMs from brother.com's public servers, which is normal for proprietary drivers; the host is not whitelisted but is plausibly official, and the checksums are provided, making this a standard, low-risk AUR package for building from official vendor sources.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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