Yes, I have unfortunately found that Python applications generate such messages all the time: False positives. It seems to be an inherent problem with Python executables.. It probably doesn't help that KoboPatchFan performs file operations and downloads.

I have now send and reported kobopatchfan.exe to Bitdefender as a false positive. Perhaps they will then update their database and the alert will disappear in the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, you can ignore the message or you can look at the source code on Github and, if you install python, pyqt6 and yaml, you can run the application by yourself from source (via "python main.py")
