The only fresh item is a product-policy change from Anthropic affecting Claude Code usage limits, which is relevant to teams relying on AI coding assistants for security workflows but carries no direct vulnerability or active-threat signal.

Top items
- Anthropic adjusts Claude Code weekly limits (Info). Anthropic is permanently increasing the standard weekly usage limits for Claude Code by 25% across Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans — but is simultaneously cutting current limits by 17%, meaning the net practical effect for existing users is a reduction. Teams that depend on Claude Code in development or security-analysis pipelines may see throughput changes. No security vulnerability is involved. (src: BleepingComputer)
Themes
No cross-cutting threat patterns today; the single fresh finding is a product-policy item rather than a security development. Ongoing stories from the previous two weeks — including active exploitation of Gitea CVE-2026-60004KEV, the PaperCut zero-day, ServiceNow CVSS 10.0 flaws, and the Tortoiseshell APT update — remain relevant but have no new developments to report.
