    Vulnerability Summary

    CVE ID: CVE-2025-54130
    Severity: High (CVSS: 7.5)
    Attack Vector: Network
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: System compromise, Potential data leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    Cursor | Less than 1.3.9

    How the Exploit Works

    The exploit works by taking advantage of the program’s permission to write in-workspace files with no user approval. If a sensitive editor file like .vscode/settings.json does not exist in the workspace, an attacker can create a new one, bypassing the need for approval. By chaining a prompt injection vulnerability, the attacker can hijack the context, write to the settings file, and trigger remote code execution on the victim’s system without user approval.

    Conceptual Example Code

    The below pseudocode demonstrates how the vulnerability might be exploited. It involves creating a new .vscode/settings.json file and writing malicious code into it:

    if (!fileExists('.vscode/settings.json')) {
    createFile('.vscode/settings.json');
    writeToFile('.vscode/settings.json', malicious_code);
    }
    execute('.vscode/settings.json');

    In this example, `malicious_code` represents the payload an attacker would use to gain control over the victim’s system.

    Mitigation

    Users are advised to apply the vendor patch by upgrading to Cursor version 1.3.9 or later. In the absence of a patch, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as a temporary mitigation measure.

    Attack Vector: Network
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: Potential system compromise or data leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    Trilium Notes | Versions below 0.97.0

    How the Exploit Works

    An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by repeatedly guessing the login password for Trilium Notes. As the application does not require a username and has insufficient brute-force protection in place, this allows the attacker to avoid triggering rate limiting, thus making the brute force attack more feasible. Successful exploitation could result in unauthorized access, system compromise, or data leakage.

    Conceptual Example Code

    The conceptual example below demonstrates how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:

    POST /sync-seed-retrieval HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com
    Content-Type: application/json
    { "password_guess": "..." }

    In this example, the attacker sends repeated HTTP POST requests to the “/sync-seed-retrieval” endpoint, each time guessing a different password in the “password_guess” field. The lack of rate limiting means the attacker can make unlimited guesses without being blocked or slowed down.

    Remediation

    The vendor has fixed this issue in Trilium Notes version 0.97.0. Users of affected versions are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. Alternatively, users can apply a WAF/IDS as a temporary mitigation measure until the patch can be applied.
