Consulting giant Accenture has told many employees that the company will now only spend $29 a month per person on Claude. Employees subject to the cap, some of whom had been spending as much as $1,000 monthly, are scrambling to find ways to make sure they can keep spending as much as they already are.

Microsoft will keep getting record numbers of CVEs through the next 12 months as there's decades of under investment, particularly in Windows but other areas too.
For the record any basic code scanning tool, not AI, would (and did) highlight these things. I sat on the calls where we discussed them. Nobody would fund fixing it.

CVE-2026-0322 is an EITW post-auth RCE in PAN-OS management interface.
A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the management interface of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall.
The security risk posed by this issue is minimized by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended best practice deployment guidelines.
This issue is applicable to PAN-OS software on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual and M-Series).
Cloud NGFW and Prisma® Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.
Very limited exploitation has been observed targeting the Palo Alto Networks management interface.
