We strongly advise updating the component to the latest version.
If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

Detected presence of software components that can tamper with the system network settings.

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.Prevalence in PyPI community

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.
Detected presence of software components that can tamper with the machine power settings.

Problem
Software components sometimes need to interact with higher privilege parts of the operating system, often requiring administrative access to accomplish a task. Machine power settings are high privilege functions that can change the power state of the device. This includes the ability to reboot and shutdown computer systems. Attackers often abuse machine power settings to force a system reboot, upon which malicious code can infect the system and gain persistence. While the presence of code that tampers with machine power 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 the machine power state. One example of acceptable use for such functions is prompting users to reboot their system during complex software installations.Prevalence in PyPI community
