In the latest episode of ‘When AI Meets Human Neglect,’ Cursor AI code editor has decided to join the 21st-century trend of letting hackers into your computer faster than you can say ‘syntax error.’

Apparently, disabling crucial security settings by default was just Cursor’s way of practicing extreme trust in humanity. I mean, who wouldn’t want their code editor to have the same security philosophy as an unlocked car with a ‘steal me’ sign?

Developers, rejoice! Now, when you open a malicious repository, you won’t just be debugging your project; you’ll be debugging your entire life. Turns out that giving your privileges to strangers is the new sharing economy—Cursor just wanted you to feel included!
