Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-61590 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: cursor. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61590/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61590/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-61590","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61590/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-61590","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AI code editor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution in Cursor by using prompt injection to modify workspace settings files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"cursor","vendor":"anysphere"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cursor is vulnerable to RCE via .code-workspace files using Prompt Injection","id":"CVE-2025-61590","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cursor CLI's Cursor Agent MCP OAuth2 Communication is Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2025-61591"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cursor: Potential Information Leakage via Mermaid Diagram","id":"CVE-2025-61589"},"products":["cursor"],"published":"2025-10-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Cursor Desktop sandbox escape via agent-controlled working directory","id":"CVE-2026-50548","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Cursor Desktop sandbox escape via symlink and failed path canonicalization","id":"CVE-2026-50549","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cursor: Speedbump Modal Bypass in MCP Server Deep-Link","id":"CVE-2025-64106","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cursor is Vulnerable to Path Manipulation Using Backslashes on Windows","id":"CVE-2025-64107","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cursor's Sensitive File Modification can Lead to NTFS Path Quirks","id":"CVE-2025-64108","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cursor CLI's Cursor Agent MCP OAuth2 Communication is Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2025-61591","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cursor CLI: Arbitrary Code Execution Possible through Permissive CLI Config","id":"CVE-2025-61592","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-03","vendors":["cursor"]},"summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution in Cursor by using prompt injection to modify workspace settings files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61590/"}
