Cursor Addresses Security Concerns with Patch and Mitigations
CVE-2024-48919
What is CVE-2024-48919?
A vulnerability has been identified in the Cursor code editor that allows for input manipulation via the terminal commands feature. Users, when exporting terminal commands through Cursor's Terminal Cmd-K/Ctrl-K function, could inadvertently execute arbitrary commands if they were to import a malicious web page. Attackers might exploit this by embedding prompt injection text within the compromised web page. While the user must actively opt-in for the content of a risky webpage to be executed, there remains a significant potential for abuse. A patch released on September 27, 2024, addressed this vulnerability by preventing newlines or control characters from being streamed back, thereby mitigating the threat. Users are also encouraged to utilize a new setting within Cursor 0.42 that streams commands into a preview box for manual approval, adding an extra layer of security.
