dannyw | on: Backdoor in Claude Code for VS Code extension on the Cursor Marketplace
Reading between the lines, it seems like Anthropic isn't involved in the "official by Anthropic" extension at all.

Cursor seems to be scraping extensions from Microsoft's marketplace, and repackaging it and keeping the metadata.

Wow if that is the case… Cursor certainly needs to communicate much more clearly that Anthropic wasn’t involved in this at all.

Cursor is now Grok, so are you really surprised?
