SAP Commerce Cloud Flaw Could Let Unauthenticated Attackers Execute Arbitrary Code

SAP patched a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated RCE flaw (CVE-2026-58231) in Commerce Cloud's Data Hub Adapter, plus three critical flaws in NetWeaver and Manufacturing.

SAP's August 2026 updates fix CVE-2026-58231, a CVSS 10.0 flaw in Commerce Cloud's Data Hub Adapter where insufficient authorization checks and input validation let unauthenticated attackers execute arbitrary code. Onapsis urged customers to patch and redeploy, with an IP Filter Set on the vulnerable endpoint offered as a temporary workaround. The update also fixed CVE-2026-44772 (CVSS 9.9) and CVE-2026-44758 (CVSS 9.1), code injection flaws in Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence involving SSRF and SSTI, and CVE-2026-34265 (CVSS 9.8), an out-of-bounds write in NetWeaver ABAP's DIAG protocol parsing that can leak information or crash systems.

Detecting cloud ransomware in Azure with Tenable One’s cloud detection and response capabilities

Tenable details ransomware group Storm-0501's Azure tenant-hijacking tactics and how its cloud detection and response identifies them.

Tenable's blog describes how cybercrime group Storm-0501 conducts cloud-first ransomware campaigns against Azure environments. The group has shifted from endpoint encryption to total hijacking of cloud tenants and systematically neutralizes resource locks, immutability policies, and backups. Tenable outlines its One Cloud Exposure detections, using AI-powered threat stories and precision alerts, to expose these TTPs early.

Introducing context-aware vulnerability discovery and remediation with Cloudflare Managed Defense and OpenAI Daybreak models

Cloudflare launches invitation-only Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation within Managed Defense, using OpenAI Daybreak models and WAF context to prioritize and patch vulnerabilities.

Cloudflare announced early access to Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation, an invitation-only service within Cloudflare Managed Defense. The service uses OpenAI Daybreak models, including GPT-5.6 Cyber, via the Daybreak Defense Network to hunt and validate vulnerabilities in customer-authorized codebases across Workers and proxied applications. Findings are prioritized using production traffic, WAF rule, and security event context, and proposed patches and WAF mitigations are automatically checked before customer review.

Off Guard: Breaking LiteLLM from authentication bypass to cloud compromise

Wiz found LiteLLM auth bypass (CVE-2026-59822) and post-auth RCE (CVE-2026-59821) chainable to cloud compromise; the bypass is in CISA KEV with in-the-wild exploitation.

Wiz scanned roughly 3,074 internet-facing LiteLLM deployments and found 9.6% accepted the default master key sk-1234 or required no authentication, making post-auth attacks effectively pre-auth. The MCP endpoint accepts any Bearer token and grants a valid session (CVE-2026-59822), confirmed exploited in the wild via honeypots and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Custom code guardrails allow post-auth root-level RCE via exec(compile(...)) (CVE-2026-59821), while pass-through endpoints lack URL validation, enabling cloud credential theft in post-auth scenarios. All assigned vulnerabilities have been patched; the research was presented at DEF CON 34.

Cloudflare's Certificate Transparency Monitoring is now generally available, and it no longer alerts on certificates Cloudflare issued for your own domains.

Cloudflare announced general availability of its Certificate Transparency Monitoring service.

SAP Commerce Cloud CVE-2026

Attackers actively exploit unauthenticated RCE CVE-2026-58231 (CVSS 10.0) in SAP Commerce Cloud days after patch release.

CVE-2026-58231, a maximum-severity flaw in SAP Commerce Cloud (CVSS 10.0), allows unauthenticated attackers to abuse a default authentication client and bypass insufficient validation, achieving arbitrary code execution and compromise of internal components. Defused Cyber researchers observed exploitation attempts against honeypots only three days after SAP released the patch. The flaw had no public PoC and was not previously known to be exploited. The attackers are unknown, though past critical SAP flaws have been exploited by China-linked groups UNC5221 and UNC5174 and ransomware gangs.

VU#943094: ONLYOFFICE ownCloud integration plugin contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability

ONLYOFFICE's ownCloud integration plugin 9.12 has an SSRF flaw (CVE-2026-84282) letting authenticated admins probe internal networks; no patch exists yet.

CERT/CC published VU#943094 for a server-side request forgery in Ascensio System SIA's ONLYOFFICE ownCloud integration plugin version 9.12, tracked as CVE-2026-84282. The /apps/onlyoffice/ajax/settings/address endpoint does not validate the user-supplied document server URL, so an authenticated administrator can make the ownCloud server send arbitrary requests to localhost and internal hosts. Differences in error responses (connection failures vs SSL/TLS errors) let attackers enumerate open and closed TCP ports for internal reconnaissance. The vendor could not be reached, so no official patch is available; CERT recommends disabling the plugin and applying egress filtering until a fix ships.

Identifying a BOLA Vulnerability in Harbor, a Cloud

Unit 42 found a BOLA flaw, CVE-2024-22278 (CVSS 6.4), letting Maintainers improperly alter Harbor project metadata; fixed in versions 2.9.5, 2.10.3, and 2.11.0.

Unit 42 researchers identified a broken object-level authorization flaw, CVE-2024-22278, in Harbor, a CNCF-graduated cloud-native container registry with 1.8 million downloads. The flaw (CVSS 6.4) lets users with the Maintainer role create, update, and delete project metadata, actions reserved for ProjectAdmin, risking data exposure, integrity compromise, and circumvention of vulnerability scanning.

Attack Paths Into VMs in the Cloud

Unit 42 maps attack paths into AWS, Azure, and GCP VMs through intended features like startup scripts and SSH key pushes.

Palo Alto Unit 42 reviewed attack vectors against virtual machine services on AWS, Azure, and GCP, finding that 11% of internet-exposed cloud hosts carry Critical or High severity vulnerabilities. The attack paths rely on legitimate features such as EC2 User Data, VM custom data, EC2 Instance Connect, SSM Run Command, and serial consoles rather than vulnerabilities, and exploiting them requires attackers to first obtain control plane permissions. A compromised VM exposes not only its data but the workload identity and cloud permissions assigned to it, making identity compromise potentially more damaging than data theft. The firm places mitigation responsibility on cloud users and administrators.

CISA Red Team Fully Compromised Two Critical Infrastructure Orgs

CISA red teams achieved full domain and cloud compromise at two critical infrastructure orgs; one SOC never detected the intrusion.

CISA advisory AA26-237A documents two simultaneous red team assessments. Organization A (Government Services sector) missed the intrusion entirely, as default credentials on a web app, ADCS ESC1 abuse, and thousands of false-positive alerts let the red team reach sensitive business systems and read SOC email. Organization B (Water/Wastewater sector) detected, isolated, and reimaged hosts quickly, but both orgs lacked Conditional Access for workload identities, and B still exposed DCSync, Golden Ticket, and OT network attack paths.

CISA and NIST Issue Guidance to Protect Cloud Identity Tokens

CISA and NIST published Interagency Report 8587 with voluntary guidance to harden cloud identity tokens against theft, forgery, and lateral movement.

CISA and NIST released NIST Interagency Report 8587 on September 15 with final voluntary guidance for federal agencies, cloud providers, and their customers on protecting SSO, federation, and API tokens. Requirements include one-hour maximum token lifetimes, 90-day signing key rotation for high-impact systems, hardware-backed key storage, explicit audience fields, and keeping tokens out of logs. The guidance was motivated by the 2020 ADFS compromise where forged SAML assertions bypassed MFA, and an incident where a leaked consumer signing key enabled token forgery and theft of 60,000+ emails from one agency. Nearly 250 public comments shaped the text, with input from Google, Microsoft, Okta, AWS, Oracle, IBM, HashiCorp, Wiz, and the OpenID Foundation via the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative.
