Two critical vulnerabilities in plug-ins for Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code editor are now patched. Security firm Snyk warns that popular extensions could put development environments in jeopardy.

The research should raise concerns about whether other extensions have similar problems, says researcher. “I believe this is only the tip of the iceberg,” Kirill Efimov says.”]
