Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. In versions below 1.3, Mermaid (which is used to render diagrams) allows embedding images which then get rendered by Cursor in the chat box. An attacker can use this to exfiltrate sensitive information to a third-party attacker controlled server through an image fetch after successfully performing a prompt injection. A malicious model (or hallucination/backdoor) might also trigger this exploit at will. This issue requires prompt injection from malicious data (web, image upload, source code) in order to exploit. In that case, it can send sensitive information to an attacker-controlled external server. This is fixed in version 1.3.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Microsoft Visual Studio, .NET Framework, Windows Server, ASP.NET, PowerShell und Windows ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen, und um Informationen offenzulegen.
