Why flagged

The package downloads official Brother driver RPMs from the vendor's own download domain, which is plausible and expected for proprietary drivers; the non-whitelisted host is the vendor's official support site, and the build process unpacks and installs expected files without executing remote code or introducing untrusted binaries.

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 driver RPMs from the vendor's own download domain, which is plausible and expected for proprietary drivers; the non-whitelisted host is the vendor's official support site, and the build process unpacks and installs expected files without executing remote code or introducing untrusted binaries.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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