## 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:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.0.37
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **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 default credential destination is package-aligned, but CURSOR\_BACKEND\_URL can redirect the exchange without an inspected destination restriction. This is a conditional credential-exposure risk, so it warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-07T20:27:13.255Z

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:** The SDK can use a locally stored Cursor API key for analytics authentication. An environment variable can redirect the credential exchange to a caller-selected backend, and the source shows no destination allowlist.

- **Trigger:** An SDK analytics event is tracked while a credential is available.

- **Impact:** If CURSOR\_BACKEND\_URL is set to an unintended host, the key may be exposed during token exchange.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T20:28:47.781Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The SDK obtains a key from CURSOR\_API\_KEY or the local Cursor auth file and constructs its token provider with CURSOR\_BACKEND\_URL, defaulting to api2.cursor.sh.

- **Rationale:** The default credential destination is package-aligned, but CURSOR\_BACKEND\_URL can redirect the exchange without an inspected destination restriction. This is a conditional credential-exposure risk, so it warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** dist/cjs/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** api2.cursor.sh, CURSOR\_BACKEND\_URL

### 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 points to bundled and ESM/CJS SDK entrypoints and declares no npm lifecycle hooks., The SDK reads credentials from CURSOR\_API\_KEY or the stored .cursor/sdk/auth.json file., The telemetry client passes the API key to an access-token exchange using CURSOR\_BACKEND\_URL when set, with api2.cursor.sh as the default., The inspected agent integration excerpts show credential-store and project-path handling; they do not establish a separate agent configuration attack.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest identifies the package as Cursor’s SDK and points its repository to github.com/cursor/cursor., The default credential-exchange host is api2.cursor.sh, a Cursor host.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @cursor/sdk@1.0.37.

- Review the evidence and your use of @cursor/sdk@1.0.37 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.
