This is not new. I remember this as a risk many years ago. That's why
iphones ask you to trust or otherwise new devices connected to the
lightning port.
Macs too now since macOS 12 iirc.
Which can be mildly annoying. If you connect something while the Mac is
locked, you never get the prompt and it stays discnnected - so you have
to physically unplug/replug. Makes some sense from a security
perspective, but I think it would make even more sense if it did pop the
prompt when you log in to make you aware someone has connected a device.
