      "value": "A flaw was found in the Ansible Lightspeed Visual Studio Code extension. This Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) allows a remote attacker to execute unauthorized commands on a user's system. The issue occurs because the `ansible.python.activationScript` setting, intended for a virtual environment activation script, does not properly validate user input as a file path. If a user opens or executes a specially crafted project, an attacker could exploit this to gain complete control over the user's system with the privileges of the Visual Studio Code application."

      "value": "Se encontró una falla en la extensión de Visual Studio Code de Ansible Lightspeed. Esta vulnerabilidad de inyección de comandos (CWE-78) permite a un atacante remoto ejecutar comandos no autorizados en el sistema de un usuario. El problema ocurre porque la configuración ’ansible.python.activationScript’, destinada a un script de activación de entorno virtual, no valida correctamente la entrada del usuario como una ruta de archivo. Si un usuario abre o ejecuta un proyecto especialmente diseñado, un atacante podría explotar esto para obtener control total sobre el sistema del usuario con los privilegios de la aplicación Visual Studio Code."
