Apple plans to tighten controls around macOS Full Disk Access after reports that AI agent apps can misuse the permission to access sensitive data (files, Mail, Messages, browsing history). The article highlights a PoC exploit (not-a-mused) against Meta’s Muse Mac app that could expose authentication tokens and allow interception/manipulation of dictated prompts, and references a patched CVE (CVE-2026-100754) impacting the ChatGPT Mac app; together these examples show how privileged agentic tools increase attack surface and risk of data exposure.
