View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a driver from a Brother-owned domain (download.brother.com), which is the official source for Brother printer drivers; although the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is legitimate and the downloaded RPM is a standard package format for the software being installed, posing no realistic supply-chain risk.

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 driver from a Brother-owned domain (download.brother.com), which is the official source for Brother printer drivers; although the host is not on a standard whitelist, it is legitimate and the downloaded RPM is a standard package format for the software being installed, posing no realistic supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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