If you want on to Microsoft's internal network, CORPNET, publish or own an existing a VSCode extension.

The Visual Studio Code Marketplace, which Microsoft own, is completely uncontrolled.

Anybody can publish an extension, it provides code execution on endpoints, extensions auto update by default, "verified" blue tick extensions just need any domain registration, and there's no endpoint security controls at all around what users can install.

VSCode is an absolute security shittip as a result.

@GossiTheDog I realize that this is tangential, but the network is named CORPNET? Really? Are we in a cheap 1980s techno-thriller?
@maccruiskeen that's the main AD domain, yep. Keep in mind MS is an 80s company ๐Ÿ˜…
