RCE in Visual Studio Code's Remote WSL for Fun and Negative Profit

I've only been using VSC for about 6 months. During my the first week of use, I noted how insecure all the plugins and their communications with the main application were set up. Dismayed, I moving the workstation to an airgapped portion of my environment, and the piece of shit would not work without a net connection. So I use VCE inside a VM now. My career includes working for security companies with sensitive information and documents... VSC needs some serious redesigning with multiple experienced security engineers on the team.

Why not just use some other editor?

I've been trying several editors, but VSC has the best integrated debugging, after Visual Studio itself - I use the free Visual Studio Community version. I'm primarily a C++ developer, but over the last 6 month have been doing a deep dive on machine learning with Python, and that is why I even bothered with VSC. The available guidance on setting up a Python development environment in VSC is abundant, while the same in Visual Studio IDE is significantly less, with scant troubleshooting support. I tried Visual Studio IDE for my Python work at first, but switched to VSC after issues.
