VSCode Vulnerabilities - Thomas Chauchefoin, Paul Gerste - PSW #804
Sonar Vulnerability Researchers Thomas Chauchefoin and Paul Gerste conducted research on the security of Visual Studio Code — the most popular code editor out there — which was presented at DEF CON 31 in August. The pair uncovered a few ways for attackers to gain code execution on a victim's computer if they clicked on a specially crafted link or opened a malicious folder in Visual Studio Code, bypassing existing mitigations like Workspace Trust. Developers tend to trust their IDEs and do not expect such security issues to exist. As developers have access to source code and production systems, they make for very interesting targets for threat actors. Important to note is that the security concepts that the two are able to demonstrate apply not just to Visual Studio Code, but to most other code editors. This is also the story of how the researchers got an unexpected $30,000 bounty from Microsoft for these bugs, by mistake!

Thoughts From A Security Legend - Dan Geer - PSW Vault
Welcome to another edition of a Paul's Security Weekly Vault episode! This episode was previously recorded on April 5, 2012 and features an interview with none other than Dan Geer. Unfortunately there is no video for this episode, but the content is still relevant today. Dan Geer is a renowned cybersecurity expert and visionary. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, Dan has made significant contributions to our understanding of information security and its implications. In this interview, we'll explore his background, education, and delve into some of his most influential works, such as his paper on the security implications of mono-culture. My co-hosts for this interview included Jack Daniel and John Strand. At the very end of the interview we talk about Dan giving the keynote at the Source Boston 2012 event. I've included a link to the video of that talk in the show notes for historical reference. ChatGPT summarized this keynote as follows stating: "Dan Geer discusses the claim that the internet is critical infrastructure and explores the potential hypocrisy involved in this assertion."
