I asked Meta’s Muse for its filesystem and it sent me 6.8GB

    Seriously, no bug bounty for that? For exfiltrating the entire content of the system?

      This seems like it’s barely a bug. Of course the files in the agent environment are not secret.

        quite literally the fifth sentence:

        >There were also SSH key files.

          They don't specify if they were public or private keys though.

          And even if private, whether they're not just generated per-user anyway, to grant muse the ability to do key-based auth on remote servers (and obviously leaking 'your' own keys wouldn't matter to meta)

          I was hoping for a little more detail in that regard, that's the only potentially large finding. I truly can't imagine meta left production ssh keys in the agent VM, it just wouldn't make any sense though

            The entire point of Muse is that it's an agent with superuser access to a Linux VM. Of course this can include public and private keys, but these are in a way all your keys as the user of the agent.
