Description
Title: Vulnerable transitive dependency: axios 0.21.4 via adal-node (CVE-2023-45857)
Body:
The extension (currently latest, v6.8.1) bundles adal-node@0.2.4, which pins
axios: "^0.21.1". This resolves to axios@0.21.4, which is affected by
CVE-2023-45857 (axios leaks the XSRF-TOKEN header to third-party hosts
on cross-origin redirects, fixed in axios 1.6.0).
Path in the installed extension:
node_modules/adal-node/node_modules/axios/package.json → version 0.21.4
Since adal-node is deprecated in favor of MSAL and hasn't been updated
upstream, this can't be resolved by bumping a version range alone.
Could the extension move off adal-node to @azure/msal-node (as Microsoft
recommends for its own deprecated library), or otherwise dedupe/override the
axios version to close this out?

Research direction
Start by inspecting node_modules/adal-node/node_modules/axios/package.json and the project’s dependency configuration to trace how axios 0.21.4 is installed. Compare the existing adal-node dependency with the proposed @azure/msal-node migration or an override approach. Done means the extension no longer bundles the vulnerable axios version and the CVE is closed.
