Running terminal commands without permission

Hey, thanks for the report. The team is aware of this issue. A few users have reported that terminal commands are ignoring confirmation settings after recent updates.

To help us dig in, can you share a screenshot of your terminal settings:

  • Cursor Settings > Agents > Terminal Commands (the section with Auto-run and Allowed Commands)

Also, please check:

  • Is Legacy Terminal Tool enabled? (Cursor Settings > search “Legacy Terminal”)
  • Which mode are you using, Normal or Sandbox?
  • Which exact commands are running without asking?

As a temporary workaround while we investigate, you can try reloading the window CTRL + R or rolling back to a previous version via Download · Cursor if this is blocking your work.

I get that this is really annoying. Terminal security is critical. Send over that info and I’ll pass it to the team so they can prioritize it.
