What they claimed

“These malicious versions of the extension were not developed by Anthropic.”
✓ Holds
“Outside of highly unusual circumstances where Cursor was started with administrator privileges, due to errors in the malicious code, this step would fail.”
✓ Holds
“We audited access and confirmed no other extensions were tampered with.”
? Unclear
“Uninstalling the extension may not be sufficient — the payload drops standalone persistence scripts that keep running.”
✓ Holds
“We identified a security incident affecting a modified Claude Code VS Code extension accessed through our Cursor IDE extension marketplace, impacting at most 5,000 users.”
? Unclear
