kcproxy wants to make changes - malware or not?

I tried looking up a password on my mac, opened up keychain and typed in my password to reveal it. After that, a popup saying "kcproxy wants to make changes" appeared.


I've been searching online for answers. Some forums say it's malware and the laptop should be restored while others say it's part of the Keychain process and nothing to worry about.


Can anyone clarify which one it is?


Thanks

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
