BTW - I don't see this as a vulnerability. It is (clearly) by design, just something to be cautious with for all the vibe coders out there :)

The @vscode.dev is doing an excellent job here - they even disable Copilot entirely in untrusted (restricted) workspaces.

10/10 no notes, excellent blending in

Pretty fun proof of concept - VS Code's `copilot-instructions.md` allows for blatant backdooring of agents if any AI agents or edits are run from an untrusted repository. It can seemingly fulfil the user's request, but actually implement (and hide) some nefarious side activities 😂

I was invited to present Nimplant at Black Hat Asia 2025 in Singapore this April! If you're around, please do reach out to talk offensive development, modern programming languages, or how to use (or detect) Nimplant in your ops. Looking forward to it!

Lol 75% thought leader, must be because I interact with @xpnsec.com too much 😂
