Connection from untrusted source

[cfinnberg]

Hi,

 

an Enpass dialog window came up a few days ago, requesting to give permission to Telegram to access Enpass. I declined the request, obviously and asked about this in a Telegram github issue opened by other user with the same experience. They denied that Telegram can do that and they invited me to ask here. But anyway I'm bit suspicious about this at the moment.

Is it possible that Enpass incorrectly detects something as an incoming connection from a plugin? Does Enpass developers have some possible explanation to this? Is there any public documentation about the communication protocol between the plugin and Enpass? I would like to study myself how this could have been happened.

 

Thanks in advance.

Enpass uses a secure communication protocol between the browser extension and the desktop application to ensure that any access request is legitimate and user-initiated. It is highly unusual for an app like Telegram to request access through Enpass, as such requests are typically reserved for browser extensions.

Some applications might attempt to communicate with other applications, but rest assured, without explicit authorization from you via Enpass, no other application will gain access to your data.

To assist you further, could you please provide more details about the specific circumstances when this dialog appeared? Additionally, you can enable logging in Enpass to capture detailed information about these requests, which might help us understand what triggered the prompt.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.

To help us further investigate the issue, could you please provide the following details:

1. Your system's operating system and the version of Enpass you are using.
2. A screenshot of any permission pop-ups you encounter, if possible.

Your assistance will help us in reproducing and resolving the issue more effectively.

Hi,

sorry for the delay. The problem has happened only once, so I am not able to provide any more details at the moment. I will provide them if it happens again. Thanks for your assistance!
