It only did run affected programs of course but it's so stupid to even talk about vscode in that case. if you used the affected nx versions you are affected no matter if you used vscode,webstorm, whatever ide of your liking. if you used a not affected nx version nothing happend no matter which vscode version you used.
I thought it was useful to include because:
* it can inform triage, if you use the extension you're more likely to be impacted * because it was VSCode, Workplace Trust actually partially mitigated this in at least 38 cases
I found the first submission on the story (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45034496), which used a github url, and merged the thread into it - more explanation at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45042727.
