Top issues
Detected presence of known software supply chain attack artifacts.
Causes risk: supply chain attack artifacts
threats
Problem
Proprietary ReversingLabs malware detection algorithms have determined that the software package contains one or more malicious components. The detection was made by either a static byte signature, software component identity, or a complete file hash. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically attribute malware to previously discovered software supply chain attacks. It is common to have multiple supply chain attack artifacts that relate to a single malware incident.Prevalence in Visual Studio Code community

If the software intent does not relate to malicious behavior, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
Avoid using this software package.
Detected presence of malicious files through analyst-vetted file reputation.
Causes risk: analyst-vetted malware found
threats
Problem
Threat researchers have manually inspected the software package and determined that it contains one or more malicious files. The detection was made by a hash-based file reputation lookup. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically identify the malware family by name.Prevalence in Visual Studio Code community

Investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
Avoid using this software package.
Detected presence of software components with malicious dependencies.
Causes risk: malicious dependencies found
threats
Problem
Proprietary ReversingLabs malware detection algorithms have determined that the software package has one or more malicious dependencies. Some software dependencies may be optional, and could be installed or downloaded only if a certain pre-defined condition is met. When software dependencies are confirmed to be found within the software package, additional issues might also be reported. The detection was made by either a static byte signature, software component identity, or a complete file hash. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically attribute malware to previously discovered software supply chain attacks.Prevalence in Visual Studio Code community

Next steps
Inspect behaviors exhibited by the detected software components.
If the software behaviors differ from expected, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
Revise the use of components that raise these alarms. If you can't deprecate those components, make sure they are well-documented.
Avoid using this software package until it is vetted as safe.
Detected presence of severe vulnerabilities with active exploitation.
Causes risk: actively exploited vulnerabilities
vulnerabilities
Problem
Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known severe vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported high or critical severity vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors.Prevalence in Visual Studio Code community
