June 9, 2025
Products Impacted
This vulnerability is present in all versions of BackendAI. We tested on version 25.3.3 (commit f7f8fe33ea0230090f1d0e5a936ef8edd8cf9959).
CVSS Score: 9.8
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CWE Categorization
CWE-284: Improper Access Control
Details
To sign up, an attacker can use the API endpoint /func/auth/signup. Then, using the login credentials, the attacker can access the account.
To reproduce this, we made a Python script to reach the endpoint and signup. Using those login credentials on the endpoint /server/login we get a valid session. When running the exploit, we get a valid AIOHTTP_SESSION cookie, or we can reuse the credentials to log in.
We can then try to login with those credentials and notice that we successfully logged in

Allowlist Bypass in Run Terminal Tool Allows Arbitrary Code Execution During Autorun Mode
When in autorun mode with the secure ‘Follow Allowlist’ setting, Cursor checks commands sent to run in the terminal by the agent to see if a command has been specifically allowed. The function that checks the command has a bypass to its logic, allowing an attacker to craft a command that will execute non-whitelisted commands.

Data Exfiltration from Tool-Assisted Setup
Windsurf’s automated tools can execute instructions contained within project files without asking for user permission. This means an attacker can hide instructions within a project file to read and extract sensitive data from project files (such as a .env file) and insert it into web requests for the purposes of exfiltration.
