Why flagged
The package downloads a Brother driver RPM from an official brother.com subdomain, which is a legitimate source for the software; the non-whitelisted host is part of the vendor's infrastructure, and the build process unpacks and repackages the official driver without introducing untrusted remote code execution.
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 a Brother driver RPM from an official brother.com subdomain, which is a legitimate source for the software; the non-whitelisted host is part of the vendor's infrastructure, and the build process unpacks and repackages the official driver without introducing untrusted remote code execution.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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, …).
