# Visual Studio Code: authorization flaw lets attacker bypass a security feature

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-119982 (this .md is for agents)

Visual Studio Code has an incorrect authorization check that lets an unauthenticated attacker over the network bypass a security feature. The sources do not say which feature or what data or actions the bypass exposes.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Visual Studio Code version with `code --version` and compare it to the fixed version named in the vendor advisory, which the sources do not give

Incorrect authorization in Visual Studio Code allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network.
