Prior to Sep 27, 2024, if a user generated a terminal command via Cursor's Terminal Cmd-K/Ctrl-K feature and if the user explicitly imported a malicious web page into the Terminal Cmd-K prompt, an attacker with control over the referenced web page could have a significant chance of influencing a language model to output arbitrary commands for execution in the user's terminal. This scenario would require the user explicitly opt-in to including the contents of a compromised webpage, and it would require that the attacker display prompt injection text in the the contents of the compromised webpage.\n\nA server-side patch to not stream back newlines or control characters was released on September 27, 2024, within two hours of the issue being reported. Additionally, Cursor 0.42 includes client-side mitigations to prevent any newline or control character from being streamed into the terminal directly. It also contains a new setting, `\"cursor.terminal.usePreviewBox\"`, which, if set to true, streams the response into a preview box whose contents then have to be manually accepted before being inserted into the terminal. This setting is useful if you're working in a shell environment where commands can be executed without pressing enter or any control character. The patch has been applied server-side, so no additional action is needed, even on older versions of Cursor. Separately, Cursor's maintainers also recommend, as best practice, to only include trusted pieces of context in prompts." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-20: Improper Input Validation", "cweId": "CWE-20" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "getcursor", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "cursor", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "< 0.42" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/security/advisories/GHSA-rmj9-23rg-gr67", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/security/advisories/GHSA-rmj9-23rg-gr67" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-rmj9-23rg-gr67", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
