Does BitDefender use SaferPass?

As of yesterday, every time I open a browser I get this message:
Suspicious connection blocked
Feature:
Online Threat Prevention
msedge.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to cdn-static.saferpass.net. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk.
It happens every time I open both Chrome and Edge.
I eventually realized I get the blocked connection message at the moment the browser creates the page to enter the master password for BitDefender Password Manager.
A system virus scan with BitDefender antivirus comes up clean.
So either BitDefender Password Manager is actually SaferPass, or else I have a weird trojan/virus, or maybe something else.
Which is it?

Update: this was a false detection that has now been removed. The notification should no longer be displayed.
