Meta Muse expands from AI agent to hardware and commerce platform

Meta is expanding Muse from a newly launched personal agent into a broader platform spanning Mac control, live video avatars, smart glasses, dedicated Charm hardware and commerce connectors. The rollout reached 500,000 users in its first week, while an early macOS token-theft flaw was later reported patched. Several announced capabilities and devices still have staged release dates.

    Zero-day in Meta’s Muse AI assistant lets local apps seize user authentication tokens

    Security researcher Patrick Wardle disclosed a zero-day in Meta’s new Muse assistant for macOS that lets any local app or terminal command access the token that authenticates a user’s Muse account by changing an undocumented setting (including the transcription endpoint). The flaw can give attackers full control of the assistant and its privileges; Amazon has also begun blocking Muse from making purchases on its site and Meta did not respond to inquiries.
