Meta restores Muse sharing after fixing URL issue and issues new links
Meta re-enabled sharing for its Muse product after researchers at Claroc reported that public Muse links were easy to discover (they were based on conversation titles and exposed in DNS). Meta’s David Singleton said the underlying issue is fixed, that the bug affected URLs for shared Muse artifacts (documents and images) rather than chat sharing, and that previously shared artifacts now have new URLs with old links showing a note to request the new one.
KEY POINTS
- Meta re-enabled sharing for its Muse product after researchers at Claroc reported that public Muse links were easy to discover (they were based on conversation titles and exposed in DNS).
- Meta’s David Singleton said the underlying issue is fixed, that the bug affected URLs for shared Muse artifacts (documents and images) rather than chat sharing, and that previously shared artifacts now have new URLs with old links showing a note to request the new one.
- The fix matters because predictable or exposed share URLs can leak potentially sensitive user content from an AI product, highlighting privacy risks in how AI platforms generate and manage shared links.
