The IDEsaster disclosure reveals 30+ vulnerabilities (24 CVEs) across Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed, Kiro, Roo Code, Junie, and Cline. The fundamental finding: 100% of tested AI IDEs are vulnerable because none accounts for autonomous LLM agent behavior in their threat model. Legacy IDE features (symlink resolution, extension installation, shell execution) become attack vectors when combined with prompt-injectable autonomous agents. This isn't about individual bugs — it's an architectural class failure.
