Why flagged

The package downloads official Brother printer driver RPMs from the vendor's own domain (brother.com), which is a legitimate source despite not being on the whitelist; the build process applies a patch and installs driver files normally, with no evidence of malicious behavior or unverifiable executables.

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 the vendor's own domain (brother.com), which is a legitimate source despite not being on the whitelist; the build process applies a patch and installs driver files normally, with no evidence of malicious behavior or unverifiable executables.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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