# Claude Code VS Code Extension Contains SSH Backdoor

https://phorion.io/blog/offical-claude-code-vsx-compromise/

Phorion found an SSH backdoor in Claude Code for VS Code 2.1.313. The backdoor persists on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It runs with user-level permissions and enables SSH on macOS via flawed logic.
