Privilege escalation in Windows App Installer (the App Installer component of Windows Package Manager, aka winget) allows an authenticated local attacker with standard user privileges to fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269), meaning the application fails to correctly enforce privilege boundaries during its operations. No active exploitation is confirmed - CISA KEV does not list this CVE, SSVC rates exploitation as 'none', and EPSS sits at only 0.33% (26th percentile) - but the SSVC technical impact rating of 'total' reflects the severity of a successful local privilege escalation to full system control.
Sandbox escape in Cursor IDE for macOS (versions prior to 3.0.0) allows a malicious or prompt-injected AI agent operating in Auto-Run Sandbox mode to break container isolation by invoking the Dev Containers CLI to launch a privileged Docker container that mounts the host's virtiofs0 virtual filesystem. This grants the agent unrestricted read and write access to the user's entire home directory and enables arbitrary command execution at the user's privilege level - all without any additional permission prompt to the user. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is available as version 3.0.0.
