AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local vector confirmed by workspace-open trigger; PR:N because attacker needs no system privileges, only workspace content control; UI:R mandatory as victim must open the project.

Inclusion of functionality from untrusted control sphere in Visual Studio Code - Python extension allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Security feature bypass in the Python extension for Visual Studio Code (versions prior to 1.132.1) allows a local attacker to load functionality from an untrusted control sphere, achieving full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack requires user interaction - specifically opening a malicious workspace or project directory - making it highly relevant in developer supply-chain and social engineering scenarios such as cloning a weaponized repository. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must have the Python extension for Visual Studio Code (version prior to 1.132.1) installed and must actively open a workspace or project directory controlled by the attacker - for example, by cloning a malicious git repository and opening it in VS Code. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS base score of 7.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H accurately reflects the threat profile: local attack vector, low complexity, no attacker privileges required, but mandatory user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious Python project repository containing workspace-level configuration designed to redirect the VS Code Python extension to load attacker-controlled interpreter paths or configuration overrides. When a developer clones and opens the project in VS Code with the Python extension installed, the extension processes the workspace configuration and loads functionality from the untrusted control sphere, bypassing a protection mechanism and achieving code execution within the developer's VS Code process. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Python extension for Visual Studio Code to version 1.132.1 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Update the Python extension to version 1.132.1 or later on all development machines and issue mandatory patch notification to developers. …
