LOW

Why flagged The package downloads Brother's official RPM binaries from download.brother.com, a plausible official host, for building a driver package; the non-whitelisted host is not inherently dangerous as it is the vendor's own distribution domain, and the content is a signed driver binary, not an obfuscated payload or remote code.
