CVE-2025-64108

Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. In versions 1.7.44 and below, various NTFS path quirks allow a prompt injection attacker to circumvent sensitive file protections and overwrite files which Cursor requires human approval to overwrite. Modification of some of the protected files can lead to RCE. Must be chained with a prompt injection or malicious model attach. Only affects systems supporting NTFS. This issue is fixed in version 2.0.

Summary		(es) Cursor es un editor de código diseñado para programar con IA. En las versiones 1.7.44 e inferiores, varias peculiaridades de rutas NTFS permiten a un atacante de inyección de prompts eludir las protecciones de archivos sensibles y sobrescribir archivos que Cursor requiere aprobación humana para sobrescribir. La modificación de algunos de los archivos protegidos puede conducir a RCE. Debe encadenarse con una inyección de prompts o un ataque de modelo malicioso. Solo afecta a sistemas que soportan NTFS. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 2.0.
