Why Cursor Writes IDOR Into Your API Routes (CWE-639)
AI editors add a login check to your API routes but skip the ownership check, so any logged-in user can read another user's data by changing the ID in the URL. Here is the one-line fix for IDOR (CWE-639).
Read articleWhy Cursor Writes Login Endpoints With No Rate Limiting
AI editors generate login endpoints with correct bcrypt hashing and proper JWTs, then leave out any limit on attempts (CWE-307). Here is why it happens and the two-layer fix.
Read articleWhy Cursor Generates Prototype Pollution in Deep Merge Functions
AI editors write recursive object merge functions without key guards, turning __proto__ and constructor.prototype into open write channels. Here is the pattern, the attack, and the two-line fix.
Read articleWhy Cursor Keeps Generating Wildcard CORS Headers in Your API
A CORS "fix" that echoes the Origin header back to the browser instead of checking it against an allowlist lets any site make authenticated requests to your API. Here's the pattern AI editors keep generating, and the allowlist fix.
Read articleWhy Cursor Keeps Generating Insecure Random Session Tokens (CWE-330)
AI editors keep generating tokens with Math.random(), which is not cryptographically secure. Here is why it happens and how to fix it with crypto.randomBytes.
