Cursor Details Security Incident Involving a Leaked Key and a Malicious Extension

一句重點:Cursor says attackers accessed historical data and credentials, while its app and release-signing keys remained untouched. People who installed the affected Claude Code extension should follow Cursor’s security notice.

@cursor_ai announced an update to its investigation. Cursor says an attacker obtained an access key it had issued to Fireworks, then copied material from a shared read-only storage bucket. The bucket held mostly coding-agent traces from 2025, along with a small number of credentials that had not been redacted.

On October 29, stolen credentials were used to place a modified Claude Code extension in a cache serving Cursor’s marketplace. Anthropic did not publish that copy. Cursor says the cached build was requested by no more than 5,000 users, who may have received the malicious version.
