Cursor and Windsurf IDEs Are a Dumpster Fire of Chromium Vulnerabilities

Oh, bloody fantastic. Turns out those shiny “AI-powered” IDEs called Cursor and Windsurf are about as secure as a wet paper firewall. Some clever sods decided to build them on top of an ancient version of Chromium — the same one riddled with over ninety-four goddamn n-day vulnerabilities. You’d think someone in the dev chain might’ve thought, “Hey, maybe we shouldn’t ship glorified malware to devs,” but apparently not. Not their circus, not their problem.

So yeah, while every other browser is busy patching up exploits faster than a caffeine-powered sysadmin on an all-nighter, these idiots are shipping code editors that come pre-loaded with enough holes to make Swiss cheese blush. Attackers could waltz in, exploit the outdated bits, and *wham*—there goes your code, credentials, and dignity. All because some startups thought “security updates are for losers.”

And don’t start with the “but it’s AI-driven” nonsense. AI doesn’t fix incompetence—it just automates it faster. Sure, their marketing team probably thinks they’ve reinvented coding. In reality, they’ve reinvented the Trojan horse. With a fancy UI. And bugs. Lots of goddamn bugs.

If you’re using these things right now, my professional advice: unplug your machine, throw it in a volcano, and go live in the woods. At least the bears won’t try to sell your data to ransomware groups.

Reminds me of the time a dev bragged his “secure” web app didn’t need patches because it was “sandboxed.” Yeah, it was sandboxed all right—right up until someone poured gasoline in it and roasted his production servers like a Sunday chicken.
