"The version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.105.1. It is, therefore,
affected by security feature bypass vulnerability. Improper validation of generative ai output in GitHub Copilot and 
Visual Studio Code allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's 
self-reported version number.");
