Caveat verdict

use-cursor

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Executes processes AND makes external network calls

Manages Cursor CLI tasks via tmux with explicit security disclosures about tmux pane execution risk, email redaction, and key redaction; no remote code download and autonomous execution is disabled — transparent about its capabilities.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.

What it does

These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.

Capability combination high

Executes processes AND makes external network calls — may exfiltrate command output

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls — potential credential theft

LLM02 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Installs packages AND executes processes — opaque dependency chain with execution

LLM03 · ASI04

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

network_out

Code accesses API keys/tokens but declares no environment variables

credential_access

Installs packages at runtime — transitive dependencies are not auditable

package_install

Findings (9)

Pattern match critical

Pipe-to-shell pattern (curl | sh) — supply chain attack vector

SKILL.md · code · curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash

Pattern match critical

Pipe to bash — executes piped content as shell commands

SKILL.md · code · | bash

Pattern match critical

Recursive delete from root or home — destructive command

SECURITY.md · code · rm -rf /

Pattern match high

References sudo — requests elevated privileges

SKILL.md · code · sudo

Pattern match high

yum install — installs system packages

SKILL.md · code · yum install

Pattern match high

subprocess execution — runs system commands from Python

SKILL.md · code · subprocess.run(

Pattern match medium

References child_process — can spawn system processes

SKILL.md · prose · downgraded · child_process

Pattern match medium

Uses exec() — may execute shell commands

Pattern match medium

Accesses OpenClaw config/secrets directly

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A/B/D/F). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.

Permissions & capabilities

No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
