Research direction

Start by locating the extension's BinSkim invocation and any existing documentation for configuring its behavior. Determine how a BinSkim CLI argument could be passed through the extension, then document or expose the configuration so scans can avoid processing files one by one and verify the resulting behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There is no documentation and I couldn't find anything on the source code on how to customize the behavior of binskim.

The result is that it tries to scan files one by one, which makes the scan prohibitively slow (never succeeded to finish it).
If we can set the CLI argument through the extension, then it may be possible to use it.
