Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 23 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 1.3.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s shell execution and API-key exchange fit its Cursor agent SDK purpose, and no install hook or unrelated collector was identified. Runtime event reporting appears in the code without a disclosure or opt-out found in the package README, so this warrants a warning for telemetry rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T08:28:43.030Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T08:30:20.781Z - **Download time:** 1523 ms - **Static scan time:** 17206 ms - **AI review time:** 79021 ms - **Total time:** 97751 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry is present; no attack behavior was identified. - **Trigger:** SDK runtime events, including agent run creation, completion, and operation failures. - **Impact:** Runtime activity is reported to the package vendor; the reviewed code does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cjs/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T08:30:20.781Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The SDK records event data and sends it to Cursor’s analytics service using the Cursor API key. - **Rationale:** The package’s shell execution and API-key exchange fit its Cursor agent SDK purpose, and no install hook or unrelated collector was identified. Runtime event reporting appears in the code without a disclosure or opt-out found in the package README, so this warrants a warning for telemetry rather than a publish block. - **Network endpoints:** https://api2.cursor.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The SDK records run-created, run-completed, and operation-failure events, and sends analytics to Cursor’s default backend., The local shell executor is loaded through a runtime path that creates the local executor. - **Evidence against:** The API key exchange sends the caller’s key to the configured backend, defaulting to Cursor’s own api2.cursor.sh service., Shell execution is part of the SDK’s local agent functionality; the reviewed path did not show command output being sent to an unrelated host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cursor/sdk@1.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @cursor/sdk@1.3.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
