An input-validation flaw exists in Visual Studio Code Maven Extension related to processing environment variables after opening a project that allows remote code execution. An attacker can convince a user to clone a specified repository and to open it in Visual Studio Code leading to code execution.

The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying the way the Visual Studio Code Maven Extension handles environment variables.
