The Microsoft Visual Studio Code .NET Install Tool for Extension Authors Extension is prior to version 1.2.0. It is, therefore, affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability due to inaccurately scoped permissions being set on downloaded .NET install scripts.

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