The Microsoft Visual Studio Code Kubernetes Tools Extension is prior to version 1.3.3. It is, therefore, affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability. By persuading a victim to open specially-crafted content, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the system.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
