التناقضات والقيود
- SUPERSEDED: Cursor confirmed malicious versions under the legitimate extension identifier were served from its marketplace and attempted host reconnaissance, SSH-key installation, reverse tunneling and persistence; containment/remediation actions were published.
- حد الدليل: Does not prove successful remote access or credential theft on every exposed host; exact publishing root cause remains unknown.
- SUPERSEDED: Microsoft independently confirmed the injected JavaScript chain and scoped the incident away from Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace/npm; Anthropic confirmed its systems were not compromised.
- حد الدليل: Code capability/order does not prove every action succeeded; env-var names are not secret values; host prerequisites matter.
- SUPERSEDED: Sophos independently documented the malicious extension behavior and remediation need; its reported exposure estimate is retained only as exposure, while code errors are preserved as impact-limiting counterevidence.
- حد الدليل: Exposure estimate is not confirmed infection, successful remote access or credential-theft count.
