Security issue with Mac client - client is making inappropriate connections
Hello,
I use Little Snitch on MacOS to monitor for inappropriate outbound connections.
The new Windows app that replaces the RDP app is doing some very shady connection attempts. As soon as I launched it, Little Snitch notified me of continuous connection attempts by the new Windows client to *ALL MY SAFARI BOOKMARKS* - I kept denying connection after connection, but based on the hostnames being accessed, I could tell it was sequentially iterating through my bookmarks toolbar, trying to ping every endpoint i have saved.
I have now blocked your client from any outbound connection attempts. I do not understand why a client I am using for accessing local machines is now talking to all sorts of remote domains I did not give it permission to access.
Seems like a fundamental design flaw of this new version - why is it trying to connect to my safari bookmarks automatically?
