Comment on Ask HN: Why is Cursor IDE accessing all my env vars?

Comments

There's not nearly enough context for what that code is doing to say whether this is a typical usage or not. The environment is there to be used. It's a bit weird that it's stringified, not again - not enough information.

That's the thing, though — trying to understand the reason with this limited info. I imagine that I could perform some reverse engineering but I wondered if maybe someone has some ideas/suggestions. Serializing the env vars is one thing, the other is the fact that they prefix/suffix it with (what appears like) a random identifier.
