🔴 Your Mac can become a microphone thanks to an AI agent

The Mac voice assistant can function as an external microphone and remote control. A zero-day bug has been discovered in the Muse AI agent that allows a standard local process to intercept user dictation and use the access already granted to the agent.

The issue was discovered by macOS security specialist Patrick Wardle. The vulnerability affects Meta's Muse client for macOS. The application works with files, browsers, messages, calendars, and other computer resources, while the agent itself can perform actions in the user's name. It's precisely this broad set of permissions that turns a relatively simple local error into a serious problem for AI agents.
