I encountered the same issue. Here's a workaround that worked for me (However, I think this should be fixed from the root by developers at the end):

1. Make the AppImage executable and extract its contents:

   chmod +x Cursor-0.48.7-x86_64.AppImage
   ./Cursor-0.48.7-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
   

2. Rename the extracted folder for convenience:

   mv squashfs-root/ cursor
   

3. Fix permissions for the Chrome sandbox:

   sudo chown root:root cursor/usr/share/cursor/chrome-sandbox
   sudo chmod 4755 cursor/usr/share/cursor/chrome-sandbox
   

4. Run Cursor:

   ./cursor/AppRun
   

5. (Optional) Create a symbolic link to launch it from anywhere:

   sudo ln -s $(pwd)/cursor/AppRun /usr/local/bin/cursor
   

   After that, you can run cursor directly from the terminal.
