Problem

Software license is a legal instrument that governs the use and distribution of software source code and its binary representation. Software publishers have the freedom to choose any commonly used or purposefully written license to publish their work under. While some licenses are liberal and allow almost any kind of distribution, with or without code modification, other licenses are more restrictive and impose rules for their inclusion in other software projects. Weak copyleft licenses in particular impose requirements that the user must be able to replace or update the code they apply to. In practical terms, that means the object and library files that statically link to weak copyleft code must be made available publicly. For commercial applications, this is typically undesirable. Therefore, statically linking to weak copyleft code is commonly avoided or even prohibited by the organization policy. Instead of linking statically to weak copyleft licensed code, it is recommended to isolate such code into modules that the publisher-developed, first-party code can dynamically link to without the aforementioned obligations.

In GCC, you can enable the stack canary with -fstack-protector-strong or -fstack-protector-all flag, but it may also be enabled by default in more recent versions of the compiler.

Consider upgrading your compiler.

Problem

Software components sometimes need to interact with higher privilege parts of the operating system, often requiring administrative access to accomplish a task. Operating systems include a complete network stack with many services that allow the machine to connect to the internet. Some of these services are used to secure network access. For that reason, attackers often aim to tamper with system network settings. Disabling firewalls and other network security features enable the malicious code to execute without being blocked. While the presence of code that tampers with system network settings does not necessarily imply malicious intent, all of its uses in a software package should be documented and approved. Only select applications should consider using functions that interact with system network settings. One example of acceptable use for such functions is allowing specialized applications to use non-standard network ports by updating the firewall allowlist.

Investigate reported detections as indicators of software tampering.

Consult Mitre ATT&CK documentation: T1562.004 - Disable or Modify System Firewall.

Consider rewriting the flagged code without using the marked behaviors.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Software developers publish components they have authored to public repositories. While a new software project is a welcome addition to the open source community. it is not always prudent to indiscriminately use the latest components when building a commercial application. Irrespective of the software quality, the danger of using components that are rarely used to build applications lies in the fact that the software component may contain novel, currently undetected malicious code. Therefore, it is prudent to review software component behaviors and even try out software component in a sandbox, an environment meant for testing untrusted code.
