The 2015 information-sharing law and the DHS continuing resolution both expire on 11 December, so the lame-duck session may extend them or fold them into an omnibus or the FY2027 NDAA. The Senate NDAA version reportedly includes a broad authorisation for contractor-owned, contractor-operated offensive cyber operations and a requirement for an AI bill of materials for AI products sold to the Defense Department. Committee leadership changes, including Rand Paul's possible move and Mark Warner taking Senate Intelligence, could shift cyber legislation. No CVEs or patches are referenced.
