Dworken from Anthropic here: This only impacted the extension as it was hosted on the Cursor marketplace. It did not impact the official VS Code extension marketplace or OpenVSX. Users of Claude Code on VS Code are not impacted by this issue.

Hi Dworken from Anthropic, how is that possible if Cursor uses OpenVSX?

  • It seems like they put a proxy in front of OpenVSX: https://cursor.com/help/customization/extensions

    However, statements around the internet (and in these comments) are less than definitive as to whether a) that proxy has a cache that was compromised; b) that proxy has select extensions which can be published directly to it by hand (one of which was compromised); c) other.

Thanks! I would believe it more it if you shared your system prompt so I can make sure its really you.
