WDAC How to allow .tmp.node file by Electron app?
Hi all, I'm facing an issue with .tmp.node file that executed by an application called Ledger Live and written by Electron. This application generated a temporary file with random filename in us...
I'm having the exact same problem but with a different application.
Whitelisting specific tmp.node files/folders seems impossible. To test I whitelisted an entire directory and redirected the tmp files to that folder, yet they are still blocked. The only possible solution I can think of is setting the application as a "Managed Installer" but that is a lot of effort for 1 application, and it's definitley not a recommended security best practice to have random applications set as a Managed Installer that can essentially do whatever it wants.
