CVE-2026-48027 identifies a software supply-chain compromise affecting Nx Console extension version 18.95.0. The malicious release was briefly distributed through Visual Studio Marketplace and OpenVSX, including through Visual Studio Code's automatic extension updates. When a developer opened a workspace with the compromised extension installed, injected code silently fetched and executed an obfuscated payload that harvested credentials from disk and memory. The payload targeted GitHub tokens, AWS credentials, HashiCorp Vault secrets, Kubernetes configurations, npm tokens, and 1Password vaults, and installed a Python backdoor on macOS. The principal distribution timeline places the release on May 19, 2026, although another account gives May 18. Version 18.100.0 is identified as uncompromised.
