LOW

Why flagged The package downloads official Brother printer drivers from the vendor's own download domain (download.brother.com), which is a legitimate source despite not being on common whitelists; the files are verified via provided sha256sums and are unpacked and installed in a standard way without executing untrusted code.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain
