Security Flaw in Cursor AI Code Editor Allows Covert Code Execution through Malicious Repositories
Sep 12, 2025
AI Security / Vulnerability
A newly identified security vulnerability in the AI-driven code editor, Cursor, may lead to unauthorized code execution when users open compromised repositories. The issue arises from the default disabling of an essential security feature, which permits attackers to execute arbitrary code on a user’s system with their privileges. According to an analysis by Oasis Security, “Cursor ships with Workspace Trust disabled by default, so VS Code-style tasks configured with runOptions.runOn: ‘folderOpen’ auto-execute the moment a developer browses a project. A malicious .vscode/tasks.json sneaks a casual ‘open folder’ into silent code execution within the user’s context.” Cursor, an AI-enhanced adaptation of Visual Studio Code, includes the Workspace Trust feature designed to help developers navigate and edit code safely, regardless of its origin or authorship.

Experts Uncover Malicious Code Exploiting Vulnerability in ManageEngine ADSelfService
On November 8, 2021, it was revealed that at least nine organizations in the technology, defense, healthcare, energy, and education sectors were compromised due to a recently patched critical vulnerability in Zoho’s ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus self-service password management and single sign-on (SSO) solution. This surveillance campaign, which began on September 22, 2021, saw attackers exploiting the flaw to gain initial access, subsequently moving laterally within the networks to conduct post-exploitation activities. They deployed malicious tools designed to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data through a backdoor. “The attackers relied heavily on the Godzilla web shell, uploading various versions of this open-source tool to the compromised servers throughout the operation,” reported researchers from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 threat intelligence team. “Several other tools exhibited unique characteristics or functionalities…”

JPMorgan Chase Hacked: Data of 465,000 Prepaid Card Users Compromised
Dec 5, 2013
JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the world, has reported a cyber attack affecting approximately 465,000 holders of its prepaid cash cards. The breach occurred in July on the bank’s website, www.ucard.chase.com, compromising about 2% of the 25 million UCard users. The bank has assured customers that debit, credit, and prepaid Liquid card accounts remain secure. They alerted law enforcement in September, though details on the attack method remain undisclosed. JPMorgan spokesman Michael Fusco stated that the investigation has identified affected accounts, and cardholders have been notified. Importantly, no funds were accessed in user accounts, which is why the company has not advised customers to change their card information.
