Vienna requests access to local network devices in macOS 15

[Eitot]

When I woke up my MacBook I was greeted with this prompt:

Vienna was running in the background. This is what the message would look like in English:

Apple added this prompt in macOS 15 (https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10123) and it is caused by system API that request any of these permissions:

I suspect that the NSHost class and maybe SCNetworkReachability functions are involved, e.g.

vienna-rss/Vienna/Sources/Fetching/RefreshManager.m

Lines 171 to 182 in c307127

	-(void)handleDidWake:(NSNotification *)nc
	{
	NSString * currentAddress = [NSHost currentHost].address;
	if (![currentAddress isEqualToString:self.riskyIPAddress]) {
	// we might have moved to a new network
	// so, at the next occurence we should test if we can safely handle
	// 301 redirects
	self.redirect301Status = HTTP301Unknown;
	[self.unsafe301RedirectionTimer invalidate];
	self.unsafe301RedirectionTimer = nil;
	}
	}

@barijaona I was looking into this a bit more and checked out the above-mentioned use of NSHost. I checked the result of address numerous times and it seems to always return the address 127.0.0.1 on my MacBook, regardless whether I am connected to my local router via Wi-Fi, connected to my iPhone via LTE (hotspot) or connected to a VPN. Vienna stores the value of address and compares it to the current value when the computer wakes from sleep, but I am not sure what result is expected here.

Is this working as intended?

NSHost has also been declared deprecated (since the macOS 12 SDK it seems). I wonder if the Network framework and specifically nw_path_monitor_* might a substitute to listen for network changes more effectively.
