AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 13, 2026

Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. Versions 1.6 and below are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks through Visual Studio Code Workspaces. Workspaces allow users to open more than a single folder and save specific settings (pretty similar to .vscode/settings.json) for the folders / project. An untitled workspace is automatically created by VS Code (untitled.code-workspace), which contains all the folders and workspace settings from the user's current session, opening up an entire new attack vector if the user has a .code-workspace file in path (either untitled created automatically or a saved one). If an attacker is able to hijack the chat context of the victim (such as via a compromised MCP server), they can use prompt injection to make the Cursor Agent write into this file and modify the workspace. This leads to a bypass of CVE-2025-54130 which can lead to RCE by writing to the settings section. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Cursor code editor versions 1.6 and below contain a remote code execution vulnerability through Visual Studio Code Workspace files that allows attackers to bypass existing security controls and execute arbitrary code if they compromise the chat context or MCP server connection. Organizations using Cursor for development face direct risk of code execution on developer machines, potentially compromising source code, credentials, and development infrastructure.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Vendor-released patch: Cursor 1.7. Until patched, restrict or disable MCP server integrations in Cursor settings, disable automatic workspace file creation where feasible, and monitor workspace file (.code-workspace) modifications in developer directories for unauthorized changes.

Attack Technique

Code Injection CRITICAL

Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.

Remote Code Execution CRITICAL

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
