Problem
Export restrictions (or a restriction on exportation) are limitations on the quantity of goods exported to a specific country or countries by a Government. The United States Government has imposed export restrictions on a number of countries and regions. These restrictions may or may not apply to digital goods such as software and other related intellectual property. It is advised that the reported findings are put in the usage context so that they can be audited and reviewed by the legal department before the software package is deployed. Current list of countries with export restrictions includes: Cuba (.cu), Iran (.ir), North Korea (.nk) and Syria (.sy).Prevalence in PyPI community

Problem
Export restrictions (or a restriction on exportation) are limitations on the quantity of goods exported to a specific country or countries by a Government. The European Union has imposed export restrictions on a number of countries and regions. These restrictions may or may not apply to digital goods such as software and other related intellectual property. It is advised that the reported findings are put in the usage context so that they can be audited and reviewed by the legal department before the software package is deployed. Current list of countries with export restrictions includes: Belarus (.by), Iran (.ir), Iraq (.iq), Libya (.ly), Myanmar (.mm), North Korea (.nk), Syria (.sy), Venezuela (.ve) and Zimbabwe (.zw).Prevalence in PyPI community

Problem
Software components contain executable code that performs actions implemented during its development. These actions are called behaviors. In the analysis report, behaviors are presented as human-readable descriptions that best match the underlying code intent. While most behaviors are benign, some are commonly abused by malicious software with the intent to cause harm. When a software package shares behavior traits with malicious software, it may become flagged by security solutions. Any detection from security solutions can cause friction for the end-users during software deployment. While the behavior is likely intended by the developer, there is a small chance this detection is true positive, and an early indication of a software supply chain attack.Prevalence in PyPI community

Next steps
Investigate reported detections.
If the software intent does not relate to the reported behavior, investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.
Consider rewriting the flagged code without using the marked behaviors.
Problem
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are structured addresses that point to locations and assets on the internet. URLs allow software developers to build complex applications that exchange data with servers that can be hosted in multiple geographical regions. URLs can commonly be found embedded in documentation, configuration files, source code and compiled binaries. Top-level domains (TLD) are a part of the Domain Name System (DNS), and are used to lookup an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a requested website. There are a few different types of top-level domains. Generic, sponsored and country-code TLDs are generally accessible to the public. Registrars that govern the assignment of domain names within the TLD may choose to sell specific domain names to an interested party. However, some registrars are known to have less strict rules for assigning domain names. Attackers often abuse gaps in governance and actively seek to register their malicious domains in such TLDs. This issue is raised for all domains registered within TLDs that harbor an excessive number of malicious sites. While the presence of suspicious TLDs does not imply malicious intent, all of its uses in a software package should be documented and approved.Prevalence in PyPI community

If the software should not include these network references, investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.
Consider changing the top-level domain to avoid being flagged by security solutions.
Problem
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are structured addresses that point to locations and assets on the internet. URLs allow software developers to build complex applications that exchange data with servers that can be hosted in multiple geographical regions. URLs can commonly be found embedded in documentation, configuration files, source code and compiled binaries. URL paths provide additional information to a web service when making a request. They are an optional, but an important part of the URL, as they may define specific content or actions based on the data being passed. Some parameters they pass might be considered sensitive information. Since path components are not encrypted this might cause sensitive information to leak. This issue is raised for URL paths than might contain information that attackers can easily intercept. Examples of sensitive information fields include passwords and other similar parameters.Prevalence in PyPI community
