Big Tech’s 2026 AI spending plans are not a gentle ramp — they are a once‑in‑corporate‑history infrastructure buildout that, by most estimates, pushes annual hyperscaler capital expenditure into the low‑hundreds of billions and creates a concentrated, high‑stakes market for chips, data centers...

The Rust shlex crate has a security blind spot: versions prior to 1.2.1 allowed the characters { and the non‑breaking space (0xA0) to appear unquoted in quoted arguments, which can turn a single intended argument into multiple tokens when that output is passed to a shell — a condition that can...

cJSON version 1.7.15 contains a parsing defect (tracked as CVE‑2023‑26819) that can be triggered by a crafted JSON document and lead to denial‑of‑service conditions—developers and operators should treat this as a reliability and supply‑chain risk and apply vendor or distribution fixes...
