The version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.47.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability:

  • An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code when they load software dependencies. A local attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could inject arbitrary code to run in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
