One simple Mac command could let Muse watch what you do

A newly discovered flaw in Meta’s Muse assistant for Mac could let someone take over the app with a simple command and misuse the access it already has on the computer. This could allow spying on activity, reading sensitive information, and controlling connected accounts without the user realizing it.


Who is at risk

Mac users who have Meta’s Muse assistant installed are most at risk, especially if they use it with accounts, messages, or other personal data.

What to watch for

Watch for Muse acting strangely, unexpected account activity, new prompts for access, or your Mac behaving in ways you did not trigger.

What to do

If you use Muse on a Mac, stop using it for now, remove its permissions in your Mac settings, update it if a fix is available, and consider uninstalling it until Meta releases clear guidance.
