SAP Patches Maximum Severity “Overpass” Flaw
Onapsis warns over 10,000 internet-facing SAP systems may be exposed to maximum-severity unauthenticated RCE flaw CVE-2026-44756 in SAP Extended Passport.
Unauthenticated Credential Theft and Tenant Data Tampering in SAP @sap/cds-mtxs
CVE-2026-76969 is a critical flaw (CVSS 9.4) in SAP's @sap/cds-mtxs npm package, the multitenancy component of the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), which performs insufficient checks on certain functionality used in multitenant CAP applications with extensibility enabled. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the affected endpoints can send specially crafted requests that cause the service to disclose sensitive credentials. With those credentials, the attacker can replace or delete tenant data, resulting in high impact to integrity and availability and partial impact to the confidentiality of business data. Only deployments running multitenant CAP applications on @sap/cds-mtxs with extensibility enabled are affected. Exploitation has not been observed: there is no known public proof of concept, the issue is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS estimates only a ~0.3% probability of exploitation within 30 days.
What to do: Update the @sap/cds-mtxs dependency in all multitenant CAP applications to the fixed version given in SAP's security advisory for CVE-2026-76969 (part of SAP's September 2026 patch batch) and redeploy the affected applications. Audit whether your CAP applications use multitenancy with extensibility enabled and whether the mtxs endpoints are reachable without authentication, and rotate any tenant-scoped credentials that could have been exposed. As an interim mitigation, restrict network access to the mtxs/sidecar endpoints to trusted callers.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
@sap/cds-mtxs NPM library does not perform sufficient checks on certain functionality used in multitenant CAP applications with extensibility enabled. An unauthenticated attacker could send specially crafted requests to obtain sensitive credentials and abuse them to replace or delete tenant data. Successful exploitation can result in a high impact on availability and integrity of the application. There may also be partial impact to the confidentiality of business data.
