Inconsistent interpretation of http requests ('http request/response smuggling') in Visual Studio Code allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network.
AnalysisAI
HTTP request smuggling in Visual Studio Code (versions 1.0.0 through 1.136.2) enables unauthenticated network attackers to bypass security controls through inconsistent interpretation of HTTP request boundaries. The CVSS scope change (S:C) signals that impact extends beyond the editor itself - smuggled requests can affect back-end services or proxies that VS Code communicates with, resulting in high confidentiality exposure. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | User interaction is required (UI:R) - the attack is triggered when the targeted developer opens a malicious workspace, file, or URL within VS Code, or connects to an attacker-influenced server endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.2 score is driven primarily by the network attack vector, lack of required privileges, and a scope change that elevates confidentiality impact to High. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Visual Studio Code to version 1.136.2 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, scan your infrastructure to identify all VS Code instances running versions 1.0.0 through 1.136.2 and prioritize machines with network access to production backend services; implement network-level restrictions to limit outbound HTTP connectivity from affected systems to critical infrastructure and enable detailed HTTP request logging on all proxies and APIs contacted by VS Code. …
