Meta has reinstated the ability to share Muse 'artifacts' following reports from security researchers highlighting that public links to conversations were easily accessible. The researchers discovered that Muse pages, such as a marketing firm's internal financial review or a small business owner's loan application, could be discovered through web addresses named after the conversation's title and stored in public DNS records.
Meta had temporarily paused the sharing feature in response to the security concern, which was brought to their attention. David Singleton, a representative from Meta, confirmed in a recent post on X that the underlying issue has been resolved, and sharing of Muse artifacts is now active. Singleton clarified that the problem was related to the URLs for shared Muse artifacts, which encompass files like documents and images, and not the chat sharing functionality.
He explained that any links to old artifacts would now display a message directing users to obtain the updated link from the original sharer. Meta acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the disruption and emphasized that safeguarding user data was the primary concern.
