  "summary": "Developers Peter James and Jonny L. Saunders have independently discovered that Meta's AI tool, Muse, can be easily coaxed into sharing its entire filesystem. According to Saunders, it was \"extremely easy\" to replicate James' results and Muse had \"almost no prompt injection resistance\".\n\nThe shared filesystem, which was reportedly 2.7 GB compressed and 6.8 GB unpacked, contained the root filesystem of the Linux environment, including Ubuntu system files, app templates, internal documentation, and agent logs. Saunders also found SSH key files, although it is unclear whether they were active or what access they could provide.\n\nMeta has denied that the incident represents a security breach, despite the potential for internal runtime files and sensitive material to be accessed through ordinary conversations and connected export destinations. The findings were submitted to Meta's bug bounty program and several employees were contacted.",
