description
VS Code 1.145.2 and earlier can mishandle a non-object value in workspace settings, allowing Workspace Trust protections to be bypassed. An attacker who persuades a user to open a malicious workspace may cause a development-mode MCP server defined by that workspace to start without a trust prompt.
mitigation
Upgrade VS Code to version 1.145.3 or later. Until upgraded, do not open workspaces obtained from untrusted sources.
fixed in 1.145.3
