SoC-2 is table stakes now. Here's what matters for AI products
What we learned from Red Teaming some of the fastest growing AI Startups
Are AI models getting safer over time, or is it just bullshit?
Cursor runs shell commands straight from files
If a file contains instructions like “run this shell command,” Cursor doesn’t stop to ask or warn you. It just… runs it. Directly on your local machine.
That means if you:
1) Open a malicious repo 2) Ask to summarize or inspect a file
…Cursor could end up executing arbitrary commands — including things like exfiltrating environment variables or installing malware.
To be clear:
- I’ve already disclosed this responsibly to the Cursor team. - I’m redacting the actual payload for safety. - The core issue: the “human-in-the-loop” safeguard is skipped when commands come from files.
This was a pretty simple injection, nothing facing. Is Cursor outsourcing security to the models or do they deploy strategies to identify/intercept this kind of thing?
Feels like each new feature release could be a potential new attack vector.
