An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-61591 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-2025-61591/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61591/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-61591","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61591/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-61591","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"AI code editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on the host by impersonating a malicious MCP server during OAuth authentication in Cursor CLI.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"cursor","vendor":"anysphere"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. In versions 1.7 and below, when MCP uses OAuth authentication with an untrusted MCP server, an attacker can impersonate a malicious MCP server and return crafted, maliciously injected commands during the interaction process, leading to command injection and potential remote code execution. If chained with an untrusted MCP service via OAuth, this command injection vulnerability could allow arbitrary code execution on the host by the agent. This can then be used to directly compromise the system by executing malicious commands with full user privileges. This issue does not currently have a fixed release version, but there is a patch, 2025.09.17-25b418f.","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 CLI's Cursor Agent MCP OAuth2 Communication is Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2025-61591","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cursor CLI: Arbitrary Code Execution Possible through Permissive CLI Config","id":"CVE-2025-61592"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cursor is vulnerable to RCE via .code-workspace files using Prompt Injection","id":"CVE-2025-61590"},"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: 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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-03","vendors":["cursor"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on the host by impersonating a malicious MCP server during OAuth authentication in Cursor CLI.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61591/"}
