snap-confine refuses to launch application to avoid permission attack [closed]

I just installed a program with the package manager snap, freshly installed on my linux Mint Cinnamon 18 computer.

I installed the app with the following:

sudo snap install cloudcompare

I logged out and logged back in my machine to refresh the path. The program is still not launching while icons and path exist now. Here is how I launch the program from the terminal:

cloudcompare.CloudCompare

which returns:

snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks

Any idea on how to prevent this refusal?

sudo apt purge snapd snap-confine && sudo apt install -y snapd

has fixed the problem for me
