It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-9190 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-2025-9190/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9190/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-9190","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9190/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-9190","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4hgf-jjp9-hfq5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cursor code editor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code inheriting Cursor's TCC permissions due to misconfigured Node fuses, bypassing macOS security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-PL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"The configuration of Cursor on macOS, specifically the \"RunAsNode\" fuse enabled, allows a local attacker with unprivileged access to execute arbitrary code that inherits Cursor TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) permissions. \nAcquired resource access is limited to previously granted permissions by the user.
