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. Open source communities depend on the work of thousands of software developers that volunteer their time to maintain software components. Software developers build up the reputation of their open source projects by developing in public. Modern source code repositories have many social features that allow software developers to handle bug reports, have discussions with their users, and convey reaching significant project milestones. It is uncommon to find open source projects that omit linking their component to a publicly accessible source code repository.Prevalence in PyPI community

Next steps
Check the software component behaviors for anomalies.
Consider exploratory software component testing within a sandbox environment.
Consider replacing the software component with a more widely used alternative.
Avoid using this software package until it is vetted as safe.
Detected Windows executable files that might ineffectively implement CFG vulnerability mitigation protection.

Problem
Control Flow Guard (CFG/CFI) protects the code flow integrity by ensuring that dynamic calls are made only to vetted functions. This mitigation is detected as enabled, but its effectiveness is impacted by unexpected function alignment. For optimal protection, guarded functions must be aligned to the 16-byte boundary. Any misalignment leaves a small window for the malicious code to take advantage of an improperly secured code flow path.Prevalence in PyPI community

Next steps
There are currently no programming language toolchain options to force proper function alignment. If this warning is issued for a file, it is likely that a future build, with some code changes, will make the compiler order the application code differently and eliminate the CFG coverage gaps.
