Mindgard made a lot of hay with their claim of a "vulnerability" in Cursor, when it turns out the same behavior exists in VS Code.

But nobody wants facts, I guess. Just hype.

Cursor will run anything called git.exe when you open it, but it isn't the only one. As a fork of VS Code, Cursor has inherited this behavior from its questionable parentage.

@mttaggart I tested it, and sadly it requires you to ask any question at all before it blindly runs make to "prepare the code"

Least amusing Calculator.app ever

@sharkfie You want to add this to a plugin with hooks that is installed by default.
