Research direction

Start by inspecting the unsigned .exe and .dll files under .vscode\extensions\ms-cst-e.vscode-devskim-1.0.33\devskimBinaries and tracing how that extension package is produced. Determine where signing belongs in the packaging flow, then verify that the distributed binaries have valid digital signatures and can run on the affected machines.
