CVE-2025-61592

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. In versions 1.7 and below, automatic loading of project-specific CLI configuration from the current working directory (<project>/.cursor/cli.json) could override certain global configurations in Cursor CLI. This allowed users running the CLI inside a malicious repository to be vulnerable to Remote Code Execution through a combination of permissive configuration (allowing shell commands) and prompt injection delivered via project-specific Rules (<project>/.cursor/rules/rule.mdc) or other mechanisms. The fix for this issue is currently available as a patch 2025.09.17-25b418f. As of October 3, 2025 there is no release version.

En las versiones 1.7 e inferiores, la carga automática de la configuración CLI específica del proyecto desde el directorio de trabajo actual (<project>/.cursor/cli.json) podría anular ciertas configuraciones globales en Cursor CLI. Esto permitía a los usuarios que ejecutaban la CLI dentro de un repositorio malicioso ser vulnerables a la ejecución remota de código a través de una combinación de configuración permisiva (que permite comandos de shell) e inyección de prompt entregada a través de reglas específicas del proyecto (<project>/.cursor/rules/rule.mdc) u otros mecanismos. La solución para este problema está actualmente disponible como un parche 2025.09.17-25b418f. A partir del 3 de octubre de 2025 no hay una versión de lanzamiento."
