In versions below 1.3, Mermaid (which is used to render diagrams) allows embedding images which then get rendered by Cursor in the chat box. An attacker can use this to exfiltrate sensitive information to a third-party attacker controlled server through an image fetch after successfully performing a prompt injection. A malicious model (or hallucination\/backdoor) might also trigger this exploit at will. This issue requires prompt injection from malicious data (web, image upload, source code) in order to exploit. In that case, it can send sensitive information to an attacker-controlled external server. This is fixed in version 1.3.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-top: 0; \">References<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/cursor\/cursor\/security\/advisories\/GHSA-43wj-mwcc-x93p\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/cursor\/cursor\/security\/advisories\/GHSA-43wj-mwcc-x93p<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;\">\n<a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; padding: 12px 24px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 4px; font-weight: bold; transition: background-color 0.3s;\">View Full CVE Details<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE Details Basic Information Title Cursor&#8217;s Mermaid Diagram Tool is Vulnerable to an Arbitrary Image Fetch Type cve Published 2025-08-01T23:05:17.187Z Modified 2025-08-01T23:05:17.187Z Product Information Vendor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6,8,126,12,21,13,7,11,5],"class_list":["post-9536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-category_cve","tag-cve","tag-cvss","tag-cvss-44","tag-exploit","tag-medium","tag-news","tag-security","tag-tapic","tag-vulnerability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
