I don't find this cpe into CPE NVD NIST Dictionary. I see microsoft:visual_studio_code for Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH Extension Product. Can you verify also for CVE-2024-49050?
 VulDB Community Team2 years ago
"Remote - SSH" is a dedicated product with an independent versioning: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh - Therefore, assigning it generically to Visual Studio Code does not make sense in this case.
