Companion App creates ".tmp.node" files in user's local appdata directory

XMLWordPrintable

      The Atlassian Companion app creates temporary executable binaries (.tmp.node files) within the "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp" directory each time that it runs. These may be falsely flagged by anti-malware software as they are not signed. 

      These files should not be created, instead they should be executed from Companion's install directory.

            A fix for this issue is available in Companion 1.0.0. View the Release Notes to see what other issues are resolved.

            If Companion is installed via the MSI, then it will need to be manually updated to the new version.

            This is a big problem for enterprises implementing whitelisting, as the files are not signed. Usually the workaround is allowing the folder, but this is not a good solution in user writeable directories.

            Also there is concern that somone can tamper with this file before it is run by the user.

            Placing code in user writable locations is bad practice.
