Code Injection AI / ML Cursor

Description

Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. Prior to 2.3, hen the Cursor Agent is running in Auto-Run Mode with Allowlist mode enabled, certain shell built-ins can still be executed without appearing in the allowlist and without requiring user approval. This allows an attacker via indirect or direct prompt injection to poison the shell environment by setting, modifying, or removing environment variables that influence trusted commands. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.

Analysis

Cursor AI code editor before 2.3 allows prompt injection to bypass the Agent's Allowlist mode. Shell built-ins can execute without appearing in the allowlist, enabling environment poisoning and arbitrary command execution.
