This extension is a compromised version of the offical Trivy VSCode extension available on the Microsoft Marketplace. Versions 1.8.11 and earlier uploaded to OpenVSX are non-malicious. Malicious behavior was added in v1.8.12 and further refined in v1.8.13.

The extension attempts to run various AI tools with a prompt designed to gather sensitive information, and publish it via a GitHub repository.
