Meta model; version not publicly confirmed here: Unnamed third-party service
Review CAT-R15 · Catalogue R15, RAT-114
Meta-confirmed via direct press statement. Internet available through evaluation misconfiguration. AP search result supplies the statement; direct AP page could not be fetched. Do not assign a precise model from secondary speculation.
Reviewed: Not recorded · Rule: external-intrusion-v1
Meta’s original identifies pre-release Muse Spark 1.1, an Irregular test misconfiguration, and an unintended real-site exploit/database changes. This is the same existing RW-0028 / R15, not a new incident. Meta says the model followed the target named in its instructions; actual third-party authorization still absent. Useful model-attribution correction, with no extra case count.
