Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities in AI Code Editors Lead to Sandbox Escape and Command Execution

Two critical flaws in the Cursor AI code editor, named DuneSlide, allow a single prompt injection to bypass security sandboxes and execute arbitrary commands on the developer's machine. These vulnerabilities stem from flaws in how the AI agent interacts with system paths and safety checks, potentially leading to full system control.
