Summary
Cursor (a code editor designed for AI-assisted programming) had a bug in versions 0.45.0 through 0.48.6 where the Cursor Agent (an AI component that can automatically modify files) could be tricked into writing to files outside the workspace the user opened, either through direct user requests or hidden instructions in context. However, the risk was low because exploitation required deliberate prompting and any changes were visible to the user for review.
