You can't trust macOS Privacy and Security settings
A security researcher demonstrates that macOS Privacy & Security settings are untrustworthy, as notarized apps like the custom-built Insent can gain persistent access to protected folders (e.g., Documents) via user-initiated Open/Save Panel actions—even when settings show access is blocked. This behavior affects macOS versions 13.5 and later (including Tahoe 26.4), and the only way to reset such access is to run a Terminal command and restart the Mac.
