Visual Studio Code

Peretas Dapat Menyalahgunakan Pasar Visual Studio untuk Menargetkan Pengembang dengan Ekstensi Berbahaya

January 10, 2023 by Flamango

Vektor serangan baru yang menargetkan pasar ekstensi Visual Studio Code dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengunggah ekstensi berbahaya yang menyamar sebagai mitra sah mereka dengan tujuan meningkatkan serangan rantai pasokan.

Menurut Goldman, seorang peneliti keamanan, teknik tersebut dapat bertindak sebagai titik masuk untuk serangan terhadap banyak organisasi.

Ekstensi VS Code yang dikurasi melalui pasar yang disediakan oleh Microsoft, memungkinkan pengembang menambahkan bahasa pemrograman, debugger, dan alat ke editor kode sumber VS Code untuk menambah alur kerja mereka.

Goldman menemukan bahwa pelaku ancaman juga memungkinkan musuh untuk menggunakan nama yang sama dan detail penerbit ekstensi, termasuk informasi repositori proyek.

Tindakan peretas menyerupai ektensi populer

Metode ini tidak mengizinkan jumlah penginstalan dan jumlah bintang untuk direplikasi, namun fakta bahwa tidak ada batasan pada karakteristik pengenal lainnya menunjukkan bahwa metode ini dapat digunakan untuk menipu pengembang.

Pelaku ancaman dapat membeli domain apa pun, mendaftarkannya untuk mendapatkan tanda centang terverifikasi, dan mengunggah ekstensi trojan dengan nama menyerupai versi sah ke pasar.

Bukan pertama kalinya muncul kekhawatiran tentang ancaman rantai pasokan perangkat lunak di pasar ekstensi VS Code. Pada Medi 2021, firma keamanan perusahaan Snyk menemukan sejumlah kelemahan keamanan dalam ekstensi VS Code populer dengan jutaan unduhan yang dapat disalahgunakan oleh pelaku ancaman untuk membahayakan lingkungan pengembang.
