Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Sign extension updates with digital signatures to ensure authenticity. Instead of fetching updates within the extension, rely on updates from the extension marketplace. See "Don’t inject or incorporate remote scripts". Implement integrity checks before executing any fetched code. Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
