1. Cursor AI Code Editor Flaw: Attackers Exploit Prompt Injection Vulnerability

A recent security flaw in the popular AI code editor Cursor has been patched after researchers disclosed that it allowed attackers to execute arbitrary commands via prompt injection. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-54135, had a CVSS score of 8.6, indicating a high severity risk. Aim Labs, which previously disclosed the EchoLeak vulnerability, named this flaw CurXecute. The flaw allowed attackers to gain full remote code execution under user privileges by injecting malicious commands into the Cursor agent through untrusted external data fetched by Model Control Protocol (MCP) servers. The attack exploited the auto-run mode of the MCP.json file, which executed commands without confirmation. This flaw was addressed in Cursor version 1.3, which also deprecated the denylist feature for auto-run in favor of an allowlist. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version to protect against such attacks. The article also highlights similar vulnerabilities found in other AI coding platforms, emphasizing the need for comprehensive security measures in AI-assisted tools.
