A Design Flaw in Share Links Exposes Users’ Personal Conversations With Meta’s Muse

Researchers from security firm Claroc say Meta's Muse AI assistant exposed sensitive conversations shared through web links. They found 6,800 share links and opened a few hundred, revealing items including a loan application, a bank fraud alert and a staff vacation calendar. The links were easy to find because the conversation title appeared in the web address, which public DNS records captured. Meta said it has paused the sharing feature while it reviews the issue and considers changes. Earlier, a separate vulnerability reported by security expert Patrick Wardle had also been downplayed by Meta.

Meta Muse exposes users' personal and business secrets when they share conversations

Meta has suspended the sharing feature of Muse, its new general-purpose AI agent, after researchers found it can expose sensitive information. Security firm Claroc said it listed 6,800 shared conversation links, and opening a few hundred revealed private material. The material included an executive-search note, a loan application, a bank fraud alert, a property performance report and a staff vacation calendar. Meta said it is reviewing the issue and considering changes to how the links can be discovered. Claroc said it reported the findings through Meta's bug bounty program on October 8.
