    AI-powered GitHub bots are leaking npm publish tokens via prompt injection in issue titles — a demonstrated exploit chain requiring nothing more than opening a GitHub issue.

    Your CI/CD pipeline's LLM integrations are now a proven attack surface — npm tokens were stolen through a GitHub issue title this week, and the PoC is public. At the same time, 6 AI code review produc…

    Two critical vulnerabilities with live PoCs demand patching today: Nginx UI CVE-2026-27944 (CVSS 9.8, unauthenticated endpoint dumps admin creds, SSL keys, and database secrets) and Ivanti EPM CVE-2026-1603 (auth bypass now in CISA KEV).

    Your perimeter has two critical vulnerabilities with live PoCs (Nginx UI CVSS 9.8 and Ivanti EPM in CISA KEV), your AWS console is being phished with 20-minute exploitation windows that defeat standar…

    Your model vendor landscape shifted on three axes in one cycle: OpenAI acquired Promptfoo — the most widely deployed open-source LLM eval/red-teaming framework (25%+ of Fortune 500) — meaning your evaluation independence now has an expiration date.

    OpenAI just bought your eval tools (Promptfoo), Anthropic is bleeding $100M+ in contracts from a Pentagon blacklisting while burning cash at a 2:1 cost-to-revenue ratio, GPT-5.4 hiked input prices 43%…

    Microsoft just admitted Copilot adoption stalled at 3% of its 500M user base — and responded by forcing AI into a $99/user E7 bundle launching May 2026, effectively eliminating standalone AI productivity pricing as a viable enterprise category.

    Microsoft's E7 bundle is a $99/month admission that AI copilots don't get adopted — only 3% of 500M Office users bought Copilot — while in the same week LangChain's agent hit 250% conversion lift and…

    Microsoft's new $99/seat E7 tier — launching May 2026 with Copilot, Agent 365 governance, and Copilot Cowork baked in — is the clearest admission yet that standalone AI adoption has stalled at 3% of Office 365's ~500M user base.

    Microsoft just confirmed what the market suspected but hadn't priced in: standalone enterprise AI can't sell itself — only 3% voluntary adoption forced a $99/seat forced-bundle launching May 2026. In…

    Microsoft just launched its $99/user E7 bundle powered by Anthropic's Claude — not its own $13B OpenAI investment — while internal data shows standalone Copilot adoption stalled at 3% across 500M seats.

    Microsoft chose Anthropic's Claude over its own $13B OpenAI bet to power Copilot Cowork, then bundled everything at $99/user to solve a 3% organic adoption rate — killing model exclusivity and standal…
