NomShub Vulnerability Chain Exposes Hidden Risks in AI Coding Tools
Researchers at Straiker have uncovered a multi‑stage vulnerability chain, dubbed NomShub, in the Cursor AI‑powered code editor. The flaw lets an attacker achieve persistent shell access by simply opening a malicious repository, leveraging prompt injection, a sandbox‑escape in the command parser, and abuse of the tool’s remote‑tunneling feature. No traditional exploit or user‑initiated code execution is required; the AI assistant automatically runs the embedded commands. The discovery highlights how AI‑driven development tools can turn trusted automation into a covert attack vector.
