I installed Zed on a work machine at a well-known software company and a week later they forced me to reimage my machine because they got some alert that the app was attempting to access browser credentials :(
No shade on Zed, sometimes in-house security tools just don't like new software.
> they got some alert that the app was attempting to access browser credentials :(
That sounds pretty specific.
According to the email I initially received for this alert, zed.exe was attempting to access its own folder within the AppData directory. Nothing more normal than that, no?
No idea how that related to what I was told by the sec people shortly afterwards.
Possibly an abundance of caution based on the behavior in the other comments?
