Count Dooku

Supply-chain campaign that re-published legitimate VS Code extensions to Open VSX with a malicious JavaScript IIFE appended after the source-map comment — placed outside the source map so casual review and diff tools miss it. The injected payload beacons to a hard-coded C2. Tracked by opensourcemalware.com.
