Cursor Marketplace Trojanized via Stolen Fireworks AI Key
Attackers exploited a stolen API key from Fireworks AI to access Cursor's data storage, harvesting credentials that enabled them to inject a backdoored version of Anthropic's Claude Code extension into the Cursor extension marketplace. Up to 5,000 users received the malicious build — versions 2.1.312 and 2.1.313 — which attempted to install a persistent SSH backdoor on affected systems. The incident illustrates a multi-stage AI supply chain attack, chaining third-party vendor compromise through credential exposure in coding agent traces to downstream extension poisoning.
