Perplexity Launches Personal Computer AI Agent for Windows PCs

FIRST LOOK ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.2 The Verge AI

Perplexity has expanded its Personal Computer agentic tool to Windows, enabling a locally-run AI agent that can access files, Office 365 apps, and the web on behalf of enterprise users. This significantly expands the attack surface for defenders: a compromised or manipulated agent running with local system access can exfiltrate files, execute unauthorised actions, and pivot across cloud-connected Microsoft 365 services. Security teams should treat this as a high-privilege process requiring the same scrutiny as endpoint detection tools, with particular attention to prompt injection via locally-processed documents.

CVE-2026-46331: Claude Cowork VM Sandbox Escape on macOS

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 9.1 The Hacker News

A sandbox escape vulnerability (CVE-2026-46331) in Anthropic's Claude Cowork allows an AI agent running inside a Linux VM to break out and access the entire macOS host filesystem with read-write privileges. Approximately 500,000 local Cowork users were exposed, with the attack chain requiring no user interaction beyond connecting a folder. Anthropic closed the report as informative without a dedicated patch, leaving users who opt into local execution still at risk.
