Why it matters

Meta's Muse agent framework had a pre-launch VM-escape vulnerability that let the agent break out of its isolation boundary—a critical reliability and security failure for a product positioned as enterprise-ready. This is not a theoretical risk; it happened in testing before general availability. Enterprises deploying agents need to understand that containment failures of this class are now a real operational category.
