Title:
  Chromium fails to get data from google end point verification helper
  app

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am trying out Google end-point verification. This is a system that
  allows the admins of a Google Workplace env to set information
  security requirements on the browsers/systems that connect. When using
  snapped Chromium, it fails to fetch data from the host system.

  The details:

  Prelude
  1. I use the latest Chromium from the snap-store (Version 116.0.5845.110 
(Official Build) snap (64-bit))
  2. I install the Google end-point verification extension: 
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/endpoint-verification/callobklhcbilhphinckomhgkigmfocg
  3. I install the helper app: 
https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9018161?hl=en using apt.

  What goes wrong
  4. The helper app has a shell script that fetches the details of the host. 
That works fine. Note that it detects the encrypted disk.

  kristofer@kristofer-ThinkPad-X1-Nano-Gen-1:~$ 
/opt/google/endpoint-verification/bin/device_state.sh
  serial_number: "PW00QL5N"
  disk_encrypted: ENABLED
  os_version: "22.04"
  screen_lock_secured: ENABLED
  hostname: "kristofer-ThinkPad-X1-Nano-Gen-1"
  model: "20UN002KMH"
  os_firewall: "no"
  mac_addresses: "00:d2:b1:d3:c4:42"
  mac_addresses: "00:16:3e:00:00:00"
  mac_addresses: "00:16:3e:4f:fa:02"
  mac_addresses: "a6:8d:49:a8:08:fb"
  mac_addresses: "04:56:e5:dc:20:fd"
  kristofer@kristofer-ThinkPad-X1-Nano-Gen-1:~$ 

  5. The chromium extension attempts to get this data, but fails. Here are the 
logs from the extension. Note that it has diskEncrypted set to false.
  [230825 08:58:34.05] [ChromeDeviceInfoProvider] [WARNING] No policy set to 
fetch device certificate.
  [230825 08:58:34.05] [ChromeDeviceInfoProvider] [WARNING] Error getting

  [230825 08:58:34.06] [NativeDeviceInfoProvider] [WARNING] Error while 
fetching non-configurable device info. Specified native messaging host not 
found.

  The same extension, on the same machine, running on Chrome is able to detect 
the data from (4):
  [230825 09:00:49.97] [ChromeDeviceInfoProvider] [WARNING] No policy set to 
fetch device certificate.
  [230825 09:00:49.98] [ChromeDeviceInfoProvider] [DEBUG] Response: 
{"osVersion":"22.04","diskEncrypted":true,"screenLockSecured":true,"deviceSerialNumber":"","deviceModel":"20UN002KMH","deviceHostName":"kristofer-ThinkPad-X1-Nano-Gen-1","deviceMacAddresses":["00:16:3e:4f:fa:02","00:16:3e:00:00:00","04:56:e5:dc:20:fd","a6:8d:49:a8:08:fb","00:d2:b1:d3:c4:42"],"deviceId":"QW2aBSoOVzwVDPNxJdhd1K5NtFs","osFirewall":false}.

  I suspect, but I don't know, that the snap confinement prevents it
  from fetching the data. Should you have any questions or need help to
  get more detailed logs, please reach out to me.
