[microsoft/vscode] Extension Signature Verification Failed: BLACKBOXAI Agent - Coding Copilot

GH-microsoft/vscode#299911 • Mar 07, 2026

### ROOT CAUSE The issue arises when VS Code detects an invalid or missing signature for the BLACKBOXAI extension, indicating potential tampering, corruption, or an outdated signature. The extension might be corrupted, improperly installed, or obtained from an untrusted source. ### CODE FIX 1. **Reinstall the Extension**: - Open VS Code. - Go to the Extensions view (`Ctrl+Shift+P` and type "Extensions"). - Search for "BLACKBOXAI Agent - Coding Copilot" and uninstall it. - Restart VS Code and reinstall the extension from the official marketplace. 2. **Update VS Code**: - Check for updates via `Help > Check for Updates`. - Install any available updates and restart the editor. 3. **Verify Extension Source**: - Ensure the extension was installed from the official Visual Studio Marketplace to avoid third-party issues. 4. **Run VS Code as Administrator**: - Launch VS Code with elevated privileges to bypass potential file permission issues. 5. **Check Antivirus/Firewall Settings**: - Temporarily disable any security software that might block VS Code or extension updates. 6. **Contact Support**: - If the issue persists, reach out to the extension developer or Microsoft Support for further assistance. By following these steps, the signature verification issue should be resolved, ensuring the extension runs smoothly.
