I don't see any issues between ublock origin and bitdefender. I have been using the extension on my google chrome for past many years. To re-verify, I uninstalled the extension and reinstalled it without an issues.

As far as the .crx extension package of ublock origin goes (the one shared by you "cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm"), below is the virustotal link

Additionally, below is the screenshot from my google chrome for the exact same ublock extension package.

Can you share the screenshot of the image when bitdefender blocks your connection attempt to download ublock extension.

I was not able to reproduce this issue on microsoft edge chromium also. Well, I would request you to kindly follow the procedure as stated by @Gjoksi in above stated comments.

I already raised a request. But support team is asking me to define an exception, which should not be the case. Any suggestions for escalation.

Thanks

Kindly drop an email to bitdefender support team at bitsy@bitdefender.com

The support team will reply back to your query within next 24-48 hours excluding weekends.

Additionally, have you tried disabling real time protection in bitdefender (https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/28557/) and then adding the extension to respective browser and then re-enabling the real time protection in bitdefender.
