glyphicon-pencil"></span> <span class="hidden-xs">Edit</span> </a> </div> <h1>Workspace Trust</h1> <p>Visual Studio Code takes security seriously and wants to help you safely browse and edit code no matter the source or original authors. The Workspace Trust feature lets you decide whether code in your project folder can be executed by VS Code and extensions without your explicit approval.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/workspace-trust-dialog.png" alt="Trust this folder dialog" loading="lazy"></p> <blockquote><p><strong>Note</strong>: When in doubt, leave a folder in <a href="#_restricted-mode">Restricted Mode</a>. You can always <a href="#_trusting-a-workspace">enable trust</a> later.</p> </blockquote><h2 id="_safe-code-browsing" data-needslink="_safe-code-browsing">Safe code browsing</h2> <p>It's great that there is so much source code available on public repositories and file shares. No matter the coding task or problem, there is probably already a good solution available somewhere. It is also great that there are so many powerful coding tools available to help you understand, debug, and optimize your code. However, using open-source code and tools does have risks, and you can leave yourself open to malicious code execution and exploits.</p> <p>Workspace Trust provides an extra layer of security when working with unfamiliar code, by preventing automatic code execution of any code in your workspace if the workspace is open in "Restricted Mode".</p> <blockquote><p><strong>Note</strong>: The terms "workspace" and "folder" are used widely in the VS Code UI and documentation. You can think of a <a href="/docs/editor/workspaces">"workspace"</a> as a folder with extra metadata created and used by VS Code.</p> </blockquote><h2 id="_restricted-mode" data-needslink="_restricted-mode">Restricted Mode</h2> <p>When prompted by the Workspace Trust dialog, if you choose <strong>No, I don't trust the authors</strong>, VS Code goes into Restricted Mode to prevent code execution.</p> <p>The workbench displays a banner at the top with a link to <strong>Manage</strong> your folder via the Workspace Trust editor. In the Status Bar, you can also see a badge that indicates that the workspace is in Restricted Mode.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/restricted-mode-banner.png" alt="Workspace Trust Restricted Mode banner" loading="lazy"></p> <p>Restricted Mode tries to prevent automatic code execution by disabling or limiting the operation of several VS Code features: tasks, debugging, workspace settings, and extensions.</p> <p>To see the full list of features disabled in Restricted Mode, you can open the Workspace Trust editor via the <strong>Manage</strong> link in the banner, or by selecting the Restricted Mode badge in the Status Bar.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/workspace-trust-editor.png" alt="Workspace Trust editor" loading="lazy"></p> <blockquote><p><strong>Important</strong>: Workspace Trust can't prevent a malicious extension from executing code and ignoring <strong>Restricted Mode</strong>. You should only install and run extensions that come from a well-known publisher that you trust.</p> </blockquote><h3 id="_tasks" data-needslink="_tasks">Tasks</h3> <p>VS Code <a href="/docs/editor/tasks">tasks</a> can run scripts and tool binaries. Because task definitions are defined in the workspace <code>.vscode</code> folder, they are part of the committed source code for a repo, and shared to every user of that repo. If someone would create a malicious task, it could be unknowingly run by anyone who cloned that repository.</p> <p>If you try to run or even enumerate tasks (<strong>Tasks</strong> > <strong>Run Task</strong>) while in Restricted Mode, VS Code displays a prompt to confirm that you trust the folder and can continue executing the task. If you cancel the dialog, VS Code stays in Restricted Mode.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/restricted-mode-tasks-dialog.png" alt="Workspace Trust Restricted Mode tasks dialog" loading="lazy"></p> <h3 id="_debugging" data-needslink="_debugging">Debugging</h3> <p>Similar to running a VS Code task, debug extensions can run debugger binaries when launching a debug session. For that reason, <a href="/docs/editor/debugging">debugging</a> is also disabled when a folder is open in Restricted Mode.</p> <p>If you try to start a debug session (<strong>Debug</strong> > <strong>Start Debugging</strong>) while in Restricted Mode, VS Code displays a prompt to confirm that you trust the folder and can continue launching the debugger. If you cancel the dialog, VS Code stays in Restricted Mode, and does not start the debug session.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/restricted-mode-debugging-dialog.png" alt="Workspace Trust Restricted Mode debugging dialog" loading="lazy"></p> <h3 id="_workspace-settings" data-needslink="_workspace-settings">Workspace settings</h3> <p>Workspace <a href="/docs/getstarted/settings">settings</a> are stored in the <code>.vscode</code> folder at the root of your workspace, and are therefore shared by anyone who clones the workspace repository. Some settings contain paths to executables (for example, linter binaries), which if set to point to malicious code, could cause damage. For this reason, VS Code disables a set of workspace settings when running in Restricted Mode.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/workspace-settings-link.png" alt="Workspace Trust editor workspace settings link" loading="lazy"></p> <p>In the Workspace Trust editor, select the link for workspace settings that aren't being applied to bring up the Settings editor scoped by the <code>@tag:requireTrustedWorkspace</code> tag.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/requireTrustedWorkspace-settings.png" alt="Settings editor scoped by the requireTrustedWorkspace tag in a restricted workspace" loading="lazy"></p> <h3 id="_extensions" data-needslink="_extensions">Extensions</h3> <p>The VS Code <a href="/docs/editor/extension-marketplace">extensions</a> ecosystem is incredibly rich and diverse. People have created extensions to help with just about any programming task or editor customization. Some extensions provide full programming language support (IntelliSense, debugging, code analysis), and others let you play music or have virtual <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tonybaloney.vscode-pets" class="external-link" target="_blank">pets</a>.</p> <p>Most extensions run code on your behalf and could potentially do harm. Some extensions have settings that could cause them to act maliciously if configured to run an unexpected executable. For this reason, extensions that have not explicitly opted into Workspace Trust are disabled by default in Restricted Mode.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/disabled-extensions-link.png" alt="Workspace Trust disabled extensions link" loading="lazy"></p> <p>You can review an installed extension's status by selecting the <strong>extensions are disabled or have limited functionality</strong> link in the Workspace Trust editor, which displays the Extensions view scoped with the <code>@workspaceUnsupported</code> filter.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/editor/workspace-trust/workspaceUnsupported-extensions-view.png" alt="Extensions view filtered by workspaceUnsupported showing disabled and limited extensions" loading="lazy"></p> <p>Extensions that have not opted into Workspace Trust can be either disabled or limited in Restricted Mode.</p> <p><strong>Disabled in Restricted Mode</strong></p> <p>Extensions that have either not explicitly indicated that they support running in Restricted Mode are shown in the <strong>Disabled in Restricted Mode</strong> section. An extension author can also indicate that they never want to be enabled in Restricted Mode if they determine that their extension could be misused by modifications (settings or files) in a workspace.</p> <p><strong>Limited in Restricted Mode</strong></p> <p>Extension authors can also evaluate their extensions for possible security vulnerabilities and declare that they have <strong>limited</strong> support when running in Restricted Mode. This mode means the extension may disable some features or functionality to prevent a possible exploit.</p> <p>Extensions can add custom text to the Workspace Trust badge in the Extensions view, explaining the limitation when running in an untrusted folder.
