Just checking, this version is different than the one defined in manifest (1.87.0), does it matter?

forgot to sync the version numbers. for future traveler notes, I arbitrarily picked 1.60 (August 2021 release date). I don't believe we're calling anything special (APIs and such) so this should work on many older versions.

Thanks for the module @h00die. Nice and straight forward, worked smoothly first try.

This PR adds a new exploit that creates a malicious vsix file. a vsix file is a VS and VSCode extension file. Once installed, the user's computer will call back with a shell. It's not a bug, its a feature!
I opted for a node payload since thats what VSCode is running, plus its OS agnostic. Win Win. Currently you get 2 shells, seems to be something on VSCode's side.
Verification

Install from VSIX....
