Muse will apparently let you download its entire filesystem
Researchers say Meta’s Muse agent can be prompted to archive and share its Linux VM filesystem.
Developers Peter James and Jonny L. Saunders say they independently prompted Meta’s Muse agent to zip and share its per-user Ubuntu virtual-machine filesystem, including app templates and internal Hatch documentation. Meta said the export does not grant access to Meta infrastructure or other users’ data. A separate flaw reported by Patrick Wardle could hijack the agent, redirect transcription, and reach a user’s Muse account; Meta issued a hotfix. The dumps also described plain-text Markdown memory, a nightly “dream” review, and an unannounced Meta Home Link hardware integration.
- Developers say light prompting made Muse archive its VM filesystem.

- Patrick Wardle’s agent-hijack flaw drew a Meta hotfix.

A pair of developers say that with very little prompting, Meta's Muse will share its entire filesystem with you. Peter James and Jonny L. Saunders have said they both independently coaxed Muse into zipping up and sharing the entire contents of its root filesystem, Ubuntu system files, app templates, and internal documentation.
