CVE-2026-63093 PUBLISHED

Cursor for Windows 3.2.16 RCE via Malicious git.exe in Workspace

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 15.07.2026 Published: 17.07.2026 Updated: 17.07.2026

Cursor for Windows version 3.2.16 contains a binary planting vulnerability that allows remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution by placing a malicious git.exe file in the repository root directory. When a developer clones and opens a crafted repository, Cursor automatically resolves and executes the workspace-resident git.exe during IDE startup and on a recurring timed cadence without any user interaction, running the malicious binary under the privileges of the current user.
