The entire point of Cursor is to run autonomous coding agents. You are giving it a random untrusted repo, saying "hey it might have a virus, go crazy" and then getting mad that it caused harm? Check (and double check and triple check) your sources. If a malicious executable made it to your computer it is already too late. | ||

? Doesn’t the code exec happen upon merely launching Cursor against a repository, without giving an agent any tasks? That’s clearly an issue at the Cursor application level, not some inevitable risk caused by the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. You can’t use the latter fact to excuse the former mistake Not to mention that Cursor has an agent permissions model that this presumably sidesteps! | ||
