Cursor AI Code Editor Flaw Enables Silent Code Execution via Malicious Repositories

A security weakness has been disclosed in the artificial intelligence AI-powered code editor Cursor that could trigger code execution when a maliciously crafted repository is opened using the program. The issue stems from the fact that an out-of-the-box security setting is disabled by default,...

Claude Code vulnerable to arbitrary code execution caused by maliciously configured git email

At startup, Claude Code constructed a shell command that interpolated the value of git config user.email from the current workspace. If an attacker controlled the repository’s Git config e.g., via a malicious .git/config and set user.email to a crafted payload, the unescaped interpolation could...
