I've had a color scheme plugin yanked from my IDE a while back, as it went malicious (Material Theme). It's just a bunch of hex codes, how is that even possible? Baffling and disappointing indeed.
It gets even worse when you realize most extensions ship bundled node_modules and are a very juicy target for supply chain attacks.
