Meta's highly privileged AI assistant Muse hit by a serious 0-day

Ars Technica reports a serious zero-day vulnerability in Muse, Meta's new AI assistant. What makes the finding especially alarming is that the agent is granted extraordinarily broad privileges, which raises the stakes of any compromise.

According to the report, a simple ClickFix attack is only one of the ways to completely hijack the new agent. In other words, this isn't a single isolated loophole — there appear to be multiple routes to seizing control of the assistant.

The combination of far-reaching permissions and a working exploit is what makes the discovery so dangerous: the more actions an agent can perform on a user's behalf, the graver the consequences of an attacker taking it over.

Further details about the vulnerability and the mechanics of the attack are available in the original Ars Technica article.
