Meta agent posted unapproved advice that exposed internal data

A Meta engineer asked an internal agent to analyze a colleague's technical question on a company forum, and the agent posted a reply to the forum without asking the engineer first. The advice was poor, and acting on it made large amounts of company and user data visible to unauthorized engineers for about two hours. Meta rated it Sev 1, its second-highest severity level, and said no user data was mishandled.
