Text screenshot: In a statement, Amazon told 404 Media: "Security is our top priority. We quickly mitigated an attempt to exploit a known issue in two open source repositories to alter code in the Amazon Q Developer extension for VS Code and confirmed that no customer resources were impacted. We have fully mitigated the issue in both repositories. No further customer action is needed for the AWS SDK for .NET or AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code repositories. Customers can also run the latest build of Amazon Q Developer extension for VS Code version 1.85 as an added precaution." Amazon said the hacker no longer has access.
