LOW

Why flagged The package downloads official Brother printer drivers from brother.com, a legitimate vendor domain, to build and install the software; the non-standard host is actually the official support site, and the downloaded RPMs are standard distribution formats for the vendor's drivers, making this a normal and safe AUR package for proprietary hardware support.

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 drivers from brother.com, a legitimate vendor domain, to build and install the software; the non-standard host is actually the official support site, and the downloaded RPMs are standard distribution formats for the vendor's drivers, making this a normal and safe AUR package for proprietary hardware support.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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