Why flagged

Prebuilt binary .deb from Brother's official download server (download.brother.com) with a proper sha256 checksum; this is standard AUR packaging for a vendor printer driver, not a swappable third-party host.

Triggered rules

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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