A weakness in the Cursor code editor exposes developers to the risk of automatically executing tasks in a malicious repository as soon as it's opened.

Cursor is an AI-powered fork of Visual Studio Code, which supports a feature called Workspace Trust to allow developers to safely browse and edit code regardless of where it came from or who wrote it.

What makes Cursor different is its AI-driven features like smart autocomplete, natural language code editing, and project-wide codebase indexing that make coding faster and more efficient.

A feature being disabled by default could leave users and their organizations vulnerable to commands that run automatically.
