VS Code Extension 26.2.0: AppLocker issue, Part2

Allan LaheJul 15 2026

This question is related to the previous topic (reference: https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/vs-code-extension-26-2-0-applocker-issue-dbtools-exe-replac-0337 )

Granting Windows execution rights for sql.exe and dbtools.exe through the AppLocker whitelist is currently blocked.

These files do not meet our company’s AppLocker whitelist requirements because the mandatory “Product Name” file attribute is missing. According to our AppLocker policy, this field must be present.

Without the Product Name value, we are unfortunately unable to accept these files during whitelist validation.

As a best practice, it would also be helpful if other file attributes were populated as well, similar to java.exe.

Could you please let us know:

  1. Whether it is possible to add the “Product Name” attribute to both files?

  2. Whether other standard file attributes can also be populated, in line with java.exe?

  3. What the expected timeline for these changes would be?

    A. Missing metadata attributes in dbtools.exe

  4. B. Missing metadata attributes in sql.exe

    C. Example where the required file attributes are properly populated: java.exe
