      "value": "vscode-spell-checker is a basic spell checker that works well with code and documents. Prior to v4.5.4, DocumentSettings._determineIsTrusted treats the configuration value cSpell.trustedWorkspace as the authoritative trust flag. The value defaults to true (package.json) and is read from workspace configuration each time settings are fetched. The code coerces any truthy value to true and forwards it to ConfigLoader.setIsTrusted , which in turn allows JavaScript/TypeScript configuration files ( .cspell.config.js/.mjs/.ts , etc.) to be located and executed. Because no VS Code workspace-trust state is consulted, an untrusted workspace can keep the flag true and place a malicious .cspell.config.js ; opening the workspace causes the extension host to execute attacker-controlled Node.js code with the user’s privileges. This vulnerability is fixed in v4.5.4."

      "value": "vscode-spell-checker es un corrector ortográfico básico que funciona bien con código y documentos. Antes de la v4.5.4, DocumentSettings._determineIsTrusted trata el valor de configuración cSpell.trustedWorkspace como el indicador de confianza autoritativo. El valor predeterminado es true (package.json) y se lee de la configuración del espacio de trabajo cada vez que se obtienen los ajustes. El código fuerza cualquier valor truthy a true y lo reenvía a ConfigLoader.setIsTrusted, lo que a su vez permite que los archivos de configuración de JavaScript/TypeScript ( .cspell.config.js/.mjs/.ts , etc.) sean localizados y ejecutados. Debido a que no se consulta ningún estado de confianza del espacio de trabajo de VS Code, un espacio de trabajo no confiable puede mantener el indicador en true y colocar un .cspell.config.js malicioso; abrir el espacio de trabajo hace que el host de la extensión ejecute código Node.js controlado por el atacante con los privilegios del usuario. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la v4.5.4."
