The AI coding tool, owned by SpaceX, reported that a modified version of Claude Code appeared on its extension marketplace between 5:27 AM and 4:35 PM ET on Thursday.
This extension harbors malicious code designed to collect sensitive information, such as hostname, username, operating system, home directory path, public IP address, and other data.
Cursor has immediately removed the malicious extension from its marketplace and confirmed that no other extensions were compromised.
