Cursor disclosed that attackers stole an access key stored at third-party provider Fireworks AI and used it to pull data from a shared storage bucket containing historical AI coding-agent traces. Some traces had unredacted API credentials, which attackers then used to breach other Cursor systems and push malicious versions of Anthropic's Claude Code extension through Cursor's marketplace on October 29, exposing up to 5,000 developers to malware installing SSH backdoors. Cursor says fewer than 0.05% of users had traces exposed and fewer than 0.01% had credentials compromised.

xAI's Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that supports mouse clicks for navigation but requires an external editor like Visual Studio Code for direct code edits, unlike rivals such as Google's Antigravity that bundle a full IDE. Users can prompt it to explain a codebase, install dependencies, run a web app, or build one from scratch and get deployment guidance, then iterate with further prompts. Access depends on a Grok plan, with free users hitting token limits quickly and paid SuperGrok tiers ($30 to $300 monthly) offering higher weekly caps.
