How to find out to which app this belongs and eventually (if wants to sent data to some servers) how to delete it?

Installer is the built-in macOS app for installing packages. The Installer app itself does not belong to any app in particular; it runs any package given, usually by double-clicking a pkg from Finder.

Installer will request Automation permission when a script in a package requests such, which will occur at the time of running the package. When such a request occurred, you would be installing an app on your system, hence it would be this app’s installer scripts which would trigger this.

  • Thank you grg.Is there a way to find out which app Installer requested access to Finder, but more important is how to remove this item from the Privacy list?

  • @Valdo - The installer app is denied any access in your screen shot. You could edit the TCCD database directly or see if it has clues when the entry was added: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/178313/… The access_time table is where I'd start. From there, you could possibly do a unified log search to trace back how that was added on a specific Mac.
