Meta's Muse Agent Hit With Serious Zero-Day

The story

Researchers found a 0-day letting attackers hijack Meta's highly privileged Muse AI agent through a simple ClickFix attack, raising enterprise risk questions.

Security researchers disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability in Muse, Meta's new AI agent, that allows full hijacking through a basic ClickFix technique. The report notes Muse operates with extraordinary privileges across a user's accounts and tasks, making a successful exploit especially damaging.

The flaw surfaces just as Meta is racing to expand Muse into wearables, glasses, and email — widening the attack surface at the same moment the agent gains more autonomy and access.

Why it matters

Highly privileged agents are becoming attractive targets precisely because they're built to act on a user's behalf across accounts and purchases. For leadership deploying agentic AI, this is a concrete case for security review before granting agents broad permissions, not after.
