Meta Just Patched a Major Zero-Day Vulnerability in Its Muse AI Assistant

Meta patched a critical zero-day vulnerability in its Muse AI assistant on Mac that allowed attackers with local access to hijack the assistant by redirecting dictation audio to malicious servers. The flaw, discovered by security researcher Patrick Wardle, involved an internal setting enabling manipulation of the dictation server endpoint, and Meta fixed it by removing this setting. Additionally, Amazon restricted Muse's ability to shop on its platform due to unauthorized access and credential handling concerns.
