Recommended Actions

  1. Confirm remediation status of the April 2026 prompt injection/sandbox bypass vulnerability reported by [SecurityWeek](https://www.securityweek.com/cursor-ai-vulnerability-exposed-developer-devices/): contact Cursor's security team directly, ask for a CVE reference or patch note, and verify the remote tunnel feature is either patched or disabled in your deployment configuration. This should be completed before production rollout in sensitive environments.
  2. Request a populated subprocessor list from Cursor's privacy team (privacy@cursor.com or through their enterprise contact). Specifically ask which AI model providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) receive customer code or prompt data, and under what data processing terms. Review the [DPA](https://cursor.com/terms/dpa) for subprocessor objection rights.
  3. Verify that the TLS certificate on cursor.com has been successfully renewed before May 20, 2026. You can check current certificate status at any time via the [SSL Labs report](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=cursor.com). If your organization uses Cursor's API, also verify TLS health on any API endpoint subdomains.

Frequently asked about Cursor

Does Cursor have SOC 2 Type II?+
No SOC 2 found. Cursor rated Low Risk — subprocessor page incomplete. See all 3 findings →
Is Cursor on the OFAC sanctions list?+
Cursor returned no matches in ThirdProof's OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, and UN sanctions screening as of April 2026.
What is Cursor's vendor risk tier?+
ThirdProof assigned Cursor a risk tier of Low Risk with 95% confidence based on assessment across 27 intelligence sources as of April 2026.
Can I get an auto-filled security questionnaire for Cursor?+
Yes. Every ThirdProof investigation of Cursor produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and a 133-question security questionnaire pre-filled with evidence from 27 independent sources. The questionnaire is mapped to SIG, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and 9 other frameworks — answered without sending Cursor a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is Cursor safe to use as a vendor?+
Cursor is a AI development vendor that handles organizational data. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire. Run a free investigation to see Cursor's full risk profile.
Does Cursor have SOC 2 certification?+
No SOC 2 found. Cursor rated Low Risk — subprocessor page incomplete. See all 3 findings →
Is Cursor FedRAMP authorized?+
FedRAMP authorization is relevant for government contractors evaluating AI development platforms. Based on ThirdProof's assessment, Cursor is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.
Has Cursor had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly AI development platforms like Cursor that handle organizational data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is Cursor on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for AI development vendors. ThirdProof screens Cursor against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Cursor or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Cursor for vendor risk?+
Assessing Cursor as a AI development vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and applicable industry standards compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure. ThirdProof automates this across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — no questionnaires or vendor participation required. Your first 5 investigations are free.
How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+
A ThirdProof assessment completes in an average of 7 minutes. 27 intelligence sources are queried in parallel — sanctions databases, business registries, threat intelligence feeds, certificate transparency logs, and more. The result is a deterministic risk tier with confidence score and audit-ready PDF report.
Is ThirdProof free?+
ThirdProof offers 5 free vendor assessments with no credit card required. Each assessment includes the full report — risk tier, confidence score, individual findings, executive summary, and PDF export. Paid plans start at $399/month for teams that need ongoing vendor monitoring.
Can I use a ThirdProof report as SOC 2 audit evidence?+
Yes. ThirdProof reports are designed to satisfy SOC 2 CC9.2 (vendor risk management) requirements. Each report includes SHA-256 integrity verification, methodology disclosure, source attribution for every finding, and AI content labeling. Auditors can independently verify the report's authenticity and trace each finding to its original source.
How is ThirdProof different from a security questionnaire?+
Security questionnaires require vendor participation, take weeks, and produce self-reported answers. ThirdProof queries 27 independent intelligence sources — no vendor involvement needed. Risk tiers are assigned by a deterministic rules engine (not AI opinion), and every finding links to its original source. You get an audit-ready report in an average of 7 minutes instead of waiting weeks for a questionnaire response.

Cursor is in your vendor stack. Can you prove you assessed them?

SOC 2 CC9.2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC all require documented vendor due diligence — not just knowing the answer, but having audit-ready evidence you verified it. Most compliance teams can't produce that documentation on demand.

ThirdProof investigates Cursor across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — sanctions screening, cyber posture, SOC 2 verification, FedRAMP status, and more. Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
