Just for context, that 2023 bug was initially reported to GitHub's HackerOne program and they explicitly told me it was out of scope for them and to take it to MSRC:
> We have reviewed the report and determined that the vulnerabilities is in VS code and the fix will be implemented by Microsoft. As a result, it is not eligible for reward under the Bug Bounty program. Please follow-up with Microsoft via the report you submitted.
There was also an additional bug that allowed an attacker to exfiltrate private repo contents with a github.dev link that MSRC also marked as not having security impact.
I absolutely loved working with GitHub folks on the GitHub bug bounty program, they're responsive, go into technical details with you and are awesome to deal with. MSRC is like the polar opposite of that.
I agree, for the record here's my HackerOne profile https://hackerone.com/ammar2/hacktivity?type=user
