Is Cursor-generated code secure?

Cursor generates code by predicting patterns from its training data, which means it can reproduce both good and bad security practices. The AI may generate code with hardcoded credentials, weak authentication logic, or missing input validation because these patterns exist in its training corpus. Security quality depends heavily on the prompts you provide and whether you explicitly request secure implementations. Generated code should always be reviewed for security issues before deployment. UNPWNED checks externally observable exposure, configuration, dependency, endpoint, form, CORS, and error-disclosure signals. Internal code and business logic require code review or targeted testing.
