      "value": "Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. Versions 1.6.23 and below contain case-sensitive checks in the way Cursor IDE protects its sensitive files (e.g., */.cursor/mcp.json), which allows attackers to modify the content of these files through prompt injection and achieve remote code execution. A prompt injection can lead to full RCE through modifying sensitive files on case-insensitive fileystems. This issue is fixed in version 1.7."

      "value": "Cursor es un editor de código diseñado para programar con IA. Las versiones 1.6.23 e inferiores contienen comprobaciones sensibles a mayúsculas y minúsculas en la forma en que Cursor IDE protege sus archivos sensibles (p. ej., */.cursor/mcp.json), lo que permite a los atacantes modificar el contenido de estos archivos mediante inyección de prompts y lograr ejecución remota de código. Una inyección de prompts puede conducir a una RCE completa mediante la modificación de archivos sensibles en sistemas de archivos que no distinguen entre mayúsculas y minúsculas. Este problema se ha solucionado en la versión 1.7."
