Security Notes
The extension automatically downloads and manages the mcp-windbgX server from GitHub releases. This introduces a supply chain risk, as a compromised GitHub repository could lead to the execution of malicious server code. The extension utilizes `execAsync` and `spawn` for system tool detection and server process management, which are necessary for its core functionality but increase the attack surface. Environment variables like `GITHUB_TOKEN` can be used optionally for GitHub API authentication, primarily for rate limits, but are not strictly required for basic functionality.
