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).

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.

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.
