CVE-2026-61613 cursor CVE debrief

CVE-2026-61613 is a high-severity vulnerability in Cursor Cloud Agent that allows code execution. Prior to the Cloud Agent fix on 03/31/2026, browser-enabled Cursor Cloud Agent sessions allowed attacker-controlled web content to connect from inside the agent container to an unauthenticated local agent endpoint, enabling code execution within the affected Cloud Agent sandbox or session and access to files, repository contents, environment variables, credentials, and GitHub App access tokens available to that session. The vulnerability was fixed on 03/31/2026 by requiring authentication for the relevant agent endpoint. Affected users should apply the fix to prevent code execution and review authentication for agent endpoints. This CVE record was published on 2026-07-15 and has not been modified since then. Users should verify their deployments and apply necessary patches.
