Cursor and Windsurf Can Now Run Your Code in the Cloud. Neither One Can Ship It.

Cursor's Cloud Agents and Windsurf's Devin handoff both run your code in a sandboxed cloud VM and hand back a PR. Here's the documented, vendor-confirmed line where that stops and deploying starts — and what actually closes it.

Your Cursor Sandbox Was Never the Thing Protecting You: Inside DuneSlide's Zero-Click RCE

Two CVSS 9.8 bugs in Cursor let a zero-click prompt injection escape the sandbox and reach full code execution. The real lesson isn't the sandbox bug — it's that the agent held the developer's standing machine permissions the whole time.
