| Hi - Isidor here from the VS Code team. A member of the community did a deep security analysis of the extension and found multiple red flags that indicate malicious intent and reported this to us.
Our security researchers at Microsoft confirmed this claims and found additional suspicious code. We banned the publisher from the VS Marketplace and removed all of their extensions and uninstalled from all VS Code instances that have this extension running. For clarity - the removal had nothing to do about copyright/licenses, only about potential malicious intent. Expect an announcement here with more details soon https://github.com/microsoft/vsmarketplace/ As a reminder, the VS Marketplace continuously invests in security. And more about extension runtime trust can be found in this article https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-runtime-... Thank you! |
I had to manually delete the extension's folder in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions and delete the entry from the json (%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\extensions.json).
