Being that its the airport, you're most likely safe, but good rule of thumb is try to avoid free charging stations and use wall outlets wherever possible. Your iPhone can have malicious data transferred in and out of it if one of the ports has been tampered with.

I hooked up tcpdump to see if the sender side is in fact sending datagrams:
$ sudo tcpdump -i lo0 udp port 5555
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on lo0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 262144 bytes
13:53:29.964728 IP6 localhost.49781 > localhost.personal-agent: UDP, length 6

The app in question is presenting a system provided UIImagePickerController to choose image for setting as user's profile picture.

I just found this same thing on my computer. I have a WACOM tablet set up and the accessibility was randomly disabled and It wouldn’t work. I had to plug in a mouse and go to the settings where I found that FISE app (that doesn’t have a unique icon). I immediately thought it must be malware. Did you ever figure out what it was?

I’m not sure you can block it other than uninstalling it and whatever you did to install it (other installer, other app, ???)
To get Apple’s attention, unless they sold that app on the App Store or you were sure you can locate an app that’s signed from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store from the same developer, I’d start with Apple Support to report ...

You have to enroll in Apple's Developer program at https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/.
Read and accept the agreement, enter your details, read and accept another agreement, and confirm your details. Do not pay the annual fee; instead, go to https://bugreport.apple.com/web/ and you should now be able to report bugs.

Ok, so here's a completely fresh answer that's not a "half-solution".
Whether this is what you actually are looking for, you can tell me.
But to reinforce the answers above:

System Preferences > Login Options > Network ...

On macOS any MDM enrollment is not hidden. You are prompted as part of device enrollment and even if you accept, the system preferences show the profile control visually always and clearly. If you have no profile entry in system preferences (check that it's not enabled and hidden by selecting Customize from the view menu - if you don't see it - you're not ...

First thing - think twice before trying to brute force guess passwords. If this is due to a developer program requirement, and especially if you continue to pay for that - start with developer support.
It's OK that you forgot the passwords and ask what method you can take to validate it's really you regaining control of the account.

They could change your password on any website that has a password reset mechanism based on either:
