The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • A tampering vulnerability exists when Git for Visual Studio improperly handles virtual drive paths. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could write arbitrary files and directories to certain locations on a vulnerable system. However, an attacker would have limited control over the destination of the files and directories. (CVE-2019-1351)

  • A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Git for Visual Studio improperly sanitizes input. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
    (CVE-2019-1349, CVE-2019-1350, CVE-2019-1352, CVE-2019-1354, CVE-2019-1387)

  • A spoofing vulnerability exists in Visual Studio Live Share when a guest connected to a Live Share session is redirected to an arbitrary URL specified by the session host. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a connected guest’s computer to open a browser and navigate to a URL without consent from the guest. (CVE-2019-1486)
