# Visual Studio Code: incomplete input filter lets attackers bypass a security feature

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-121660 (this .md is for agents)

Visual Studio Code's list of disallowed inputs is incomplete, so an unauthorized attacker can get past a security feature. The sources say it can be reached over a network, but they do not describe the exact bypass or its impact beyond that.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed version with `code --version` and compare it with the fixed release named by the vendor.

## Timeline

## From the sources

Incomplete list of disallowed inputs in Visual Studio Code allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network.
