Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
While asking Cursor why a Git merge failed, I pasted terminal output (including a macOS path with Chinese characters). The agent initiated a local search for the Chinese term “阴茎”, a term I never typed and which doesn’t exist anywhere on my machine. This appears to be a hallucinated command/term plus unprompted local execution.
• Agent misinterpreted the pasted path/log and:
• Generated the unrelated term “阴茎” (it means ■■■■ in chinese).
• Attempted a filesystem search for that term in my local directories.
• I have no files/dirs containing that term; it was never in my input.
• This is sensitive and unrelated to the original Git question.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Copy/paste terminal output showing a Git error into Cursor (no request to run commands).
2. Ask the agent “why did my merge fail?”
3. Observe: agent issues an internal/local search involving the hallucinated term “阴茎”.
Expected Behavior
I mean it’s an explicit word that can potentially expose someone else sensitive photos/collection
