The version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code installed on the remote host is prior to 1.58.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  • A remote code execution vulnerability. (CVE-2021-34528)
  • A spoofing vulnerability. (CVE-2021-34479)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
