The Amazon Q Developer Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension v1.84.0 contains inert, injected code designed to call the Q Developer CLI. The code executes when the extension is launched within the VS Code environment; however the injected code contains a syntax error which prevents it from making a successful API call to the Q Developer CLI.

To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to version v1.85.0. All installations of v1.84.0 should be removed from use.

Weakness

The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.
