# Security digest: August 1, 2025

1 editorial brief and 2 critical advisories.

## Take stock

- Most can relax: CurXecute . Teams with Cursor installs frozen below 1.3.9 (CurXecute) or 1.3 (MCPoison), or that share repos containing .cursor MCP configs with untrusted contributors.
- Go: 1 critical advisory ( github.com/hashicorp/vault ). Check with govulncheck ./... .
- npm: 1 critical advisory ( @nestjs/devtools-integration ). Check with npm audit (or: npm ls <package>) .
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Editorial briefs

- **Most can relax** [Cursor CurXecute: Prompt Injection to RCE via mcp.json](https://erroneo.us/security/briefs/cursor-curxecute-mcp-prompt-injection-rce/index.md): Cursor auto-updates and both bugs were fixed by mid-2025; the lasting takeaway is to treat any agent that can write its own tool config as a code-execution path.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

None.

## Critical advisories

- [CVE-2025-6000](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2025-6000/index.md) Hashicorp Vault has Code Execution Vulnerability via Plugin Configuration — Go github.com/hashicorp/vault >= 0.8.0, < 1.20.1 → 1.20.1
- [CVE-2025-54782](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2025-54782/index.md) @nestjs/devtools-integration: CSRF to Sandbox Escape Allows for RCE against JS Developers — npm @nestjs/devtools-integration <= 0.2.0 → 0.2.1
