Meta's Muse AI Assistant Vulnerable to Backdoor Exploit

A security researcher discovered a vulnerability in Meta's Muse AI assistant that lets malware already present on a Mac hijack the tool and gain backdoor access to sensitive personal data. The exploit is notable because it requires only pre-existing malware on the device, making it a low-effort path for attackers to take control.
