OX Security weaponized CVE-2025-7656 (a patched Chromium flaw) against current versions of both IDEs, proving their Electron builds ship Chromium engines frozen since March 2025. At least 94 known CVEs have accumulated since. Cursor dismissed the report as "out of scope." Windsurf didn't respond. If you're building in either IDE, you're running a browser with 14 months of unpatched vulnerabilities. That's your entire dev environment.
