FreeBSD : vscode -- security feature bypass vulnerability (6f10b49d-07b1-4be4-8abf-edf880b16ad2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 236767

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 6f10b49d-07b1-4be4-8abf-edf880b16ad2 advisory.

VSCode developers report:
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in VS Code 1.100.0 and earlier versions where a maliciously crafted URL could be considered trusted when it should not have due to how VS Code handled glob patterns in the trusted domains feature. When paired with the #fetch tool in Chat, this scenario would require the attacker to convince an LLM (via prompt injection) to fetch the maliciously crafted URL but when fetched, the user would have no moment to confirm the flighting of the request.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
