An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2024-49050 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2024-49050 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Microsoft Python extension for Visual Studio Code, published on 12 Nov 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-49050 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Python extension for Visual Studio Code. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49050/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49050/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49050","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49050/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49050","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-36jr-8w83-wr8q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VS Code Python extension","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via the Visual Studio Code Python extension, posing a risk to developers using this tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"python","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-501","name":"Trust Boundary Violation"}],"description":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49050","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft PC Manager Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49051"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Visual Studio Code Remote Extension Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49049"},"products":["Python extension for Visual Studio Code"],"published":"2024-11-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-54981","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-49714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-17163","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1192","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-08","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via the Visual Studio Code Python extension, posing a risk to developers using this tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49050/"}
