CVE 2020-16977: VS Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution
While building “Husky AI” I started working a lot with Microsoft’s VS Code Python extension. It is a super convinient way to edit Jupyter Notebooks. I just use VS Code’s Remote SSH feature to get to my Linux host and work on modeling and testing there. When threat modeling “Husky AI” I identified backdooring of third party libraries and development tools as a potential issue to be aware of.
