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.

Triggered rules

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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