A disclosed Cursor vulnerability let an attacker poison the agent's execution environment so an allowlisted command delivered an arbitrary payload. The allowlist made the attack easier, because it auto-approved exactly the command the attacker needed. (Lushbinary) Command allowlists are not a sandbox. OWASP's State of Agentic AI Security v2.01 catalogs this alongside CVE-2026-2256, a command-injection flaw in ModelScope's MS-Agent shell tool. Audit your "safe command" list for anything an attacker could repurpose, and run the agent in a real jail.
