Description

Summary

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in VS Code 1.141.0 and earlier where opening a workspace using vscode.dev/agents/tunnel would skip workspace trust, allowing the user to run skills that could be contributed by the attacker without warning.

Details

An attacker would need to convince the VS Code user to open the workspace on the vscode.dev/agents/tunnel path and run sessions on it.

Patches

Fixed in VS Code 1.141.1. The fix (010ee1a) mitigates the issue by adding workspace trust to the endpoint.

Workarounds

Do not open untrusted workspaces through the agents/tunnel web path.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
