CVE-2026-63093 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Anysphere Cursor for Windows version 3.2.16 caused by unsafe executable resolution during repository handling. When Cursor opens a crafted repository, it performs Git-related operations and resolves a Git executable in a way that permits a workspace-resident binary to be selected and launched. An attacker can place a malicious git.exe in the repository root, and Cursor will automatically execute it during IDE startup and on a recurring timed cadence without additional user interaction. The flaw is a binary planting issue in which the application fails to ensure that only a trusted Git installation is invoked, allowing attacker-controlled code from the opened workspace to run under the current user context.
