SQ31102

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

No prevalence information at this time

Next steps

We strongly advise updating the component to the latest version.

If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

SQ31105

Detected presence of high severity vulnerabilities.

Causes risk: high severity vulnerabilities

vulnerabilities

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Based on the CVSS scoring, these vulnerabilities have been marked as high severity.

Prevalence in Visual Studio Code community

No prevalence information at this time

Next steps

Perform impact analysis for the reported CVEs.

Update the component to the latest version.

If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

TH17127

Detected presence of files containing URLs that link to raw files on GitHub.

Problem

Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are structured addresses that point to locations and assets on the internet. URLs allow software developers to build complex applications that exchange data with servers that can be hosted in multiple geographical regions. URLs can commonly be found embedded in documentation, configuration files, source code and compiled binaries. One or more embedded URLs were discovered to link to raw files hosted on GitHub. Attackers often abuse popular web services to host malicious payloads. Since code-sharing services URLs are typically allowed by security solutions, using them for payload delivery increases the odds that the malicious code will reach the user. While the presence of code-sharing service locations does not imply malicious intent, all of their uses in a software package should be documented and approved. An increasing number of software supply chain attacks in the open source space leverages the GitHub service to deliver malicious payloads.

Next steps

Investigate reported detections.

If the software should not include these network references, investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.

Consider an alternative delivery mechanism for software packages.

TH30109

Detected presence of software components with dependencies that are hosted outside the official project repository.

hunting

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Each of these components can have dozens, or even hundreds, of its own dependencies. When building applications, software developers download and install components from public repositories. For components to work properly, all of their dependencies also need to be installed. Some package repositories, like Node Package Manager (NPM), allow components to declare dependencies that are hosted remotely. Such dependencies are automatically downloaded from a specified location during software component installation. Since remotely hosted dependencies are not immutable, that enables a threat actor to change the dependency contents even after a component was published and vetted by security solutions. It is uncommon to find open source components that use remotely hosted dependencies residing outside the official project source code repository.

Next steps

Review software component remote dependency locations.

If the software component resolves dependencies from unusual locations, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

Consider vendoring the software component with all of its dependencies.

Avoid using this software package until it is vetted as safe.

SQ31106

Detected presence of medium severity vulnerabilities.

Causes risk: medium severity vulnerabilities

vulnerabilities

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Based on the CVSS scoring, these vulnerabilities have been marked as medium severity.

Prevalence in Visual Studio Code community

No prevalence information at this time

Next steps

Perform impact analysis for the reported CVEs.

Update the component to the latest version.

If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.
