Security researcher Patrick Wardle disclosed a zero-day vulnerability in Meta's Muse AI agent that could let attackers redirect users' voice dictations and access tokens to a malicious server instead of Meta's own. David Singleton, head of Meta's Superintelligence Labs, confirmed the company has issued a patch, though he and Wardle disagree on whether the exploit requires prior malware on a user's machine. Meta says the MacOS Muse app has been downloaded over half a million times in its first week.

Meta rolled out Muse, a personal AI agent built by Meta Superintelligence Labs that can be messaged through a dedicated app, Muse.ai, or WhatsApp to handle digital chores like sending emails, booking travel, or selling a car. The agent can also make purchases on a user's behalf using single-use virtual card numbers powered by Stripe's Link tool, and is free to try with paid subscriptions needed for heavier use.
