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

  • A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit Heap Overflow vulnerbaility in Visual Studio to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-41119)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability. Local clone optimization dereferences symbolic links by default and may cause an exposure of sensitive information to a malicious actor. (CVE-2022-39253)

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