Summary
Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. Cursor allows writing in-workspace files with no user approval in versions less than 1.3.9. If the file is a dotfile, editing it requires approval but creating a new one doesn't. Hence, if sensitive editor files, such as the .vscode/settings.json file don't already exist in the workspace, an attacker can chain a indirect prompt injection vulnerability to hijack the context to write to the settings file and trigger RCE on the victim without user approval. This is fixed in version 1.3.9.

"value": "Cursor es un editor de c\u00f3digo dise\u00f1ado para programar con IA. Permite escribir archivos en el espacio de trabajo sin la aprobaci\u00f3n del usuario en versiones anteriores a la 1.3.9. Si el archivo es un archivo de puntos, editarlo requiere aprobaci\u00f3n, pero crear uno nuevo no. Por lo tanto, si no existen archivos sensibles del editor, como el archivo .vscode/settings.json, en el espacio de trabajo, un atacante puede encadenar una vulnerabilidad de inyecci\u00f3n indirecta de mensajes para secuestrar el contexto y escribir en el archivo de configuraci\u00f3n, lo que activa una RCE en la v\u00edctima sin la aprobaci\u00f3n del usuario. Esto se corrigi\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 1.3.9."
