SAP released 20 new and updated security notes on Tuesday, including one that resolves a critical-severity memory corruption vulnerability.
Tracked as CVE-2026-44756 (CVSS score of 10/10), the critical bug is described as a memory corruption issue in Extended Passport (EPP) Processing.
Missing boundary validations during the deserialization of EPP data could trigger unsafe memory behavior during the processing of externally supplied length fields, application security firm Onapsis explains.
Dubbed OVERPASS, the security defect can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary system commands, recover database credentials and password hashes, read the live sessions of logged-in users, and modify data, including configurations and SAP binaries.
According to Onapsis, the flaw resides in the SAP kernel code and impacts various components, as EPP is used for tracing within multiple SAP applications.
Furthermore, it explains that the vulnerability is triggered as soon as a new user session is opened, from client to server, over several communication protocols, and the vulnerable functionality is implemented by default between ABAP systems.
“Because EPP is processed as the session opens, every SAP control that decides who may do what, including user locks, roles, authorization objects, and logon policies, is evaluated later than the point where the flaw is reached. None of them is in the attacker’s way,” Onapsis explains.
Additionally, it says, the bug can be reached via at least three vectors, including web requests, the SAP GUI protocol, and Remote Function Call (RFC) connections.
“The affected components run under the operating system account that owns the SAP installation, so code execution under it is equivalent to owning the SAP system outright,” Onapsis says.
SAP products that rely on the vulnerable kernel code include S/4HANA, ERP, Business Suite (ECC), NetWeaver, Web Dispatcher, BW/4HANA, Enterprise Portal, PI/PO, Solution Manager, and others.
According to Onapsis, there are no indicators that the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. SAP makes no mention of its in-the-wild exploitation either.
Three other critical flaws were resolved with SAP’s fresh patches: CVE-2026-58240 (missing authentication check in NetWeaver), CVE-2026-76969 (credential disclosure in multitenant applications using Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP)), and CVE-2026-66768 (improper access control in NetWeaver).
The missing authentication issue, dubbed S4GET, could allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to register unauthorized components and perform actions without authorization. The bug resides in SAP’s modern kernel, and every S/4HANA 2025 and earlier release is affected, Onapsis says.
Five of the security notes released on SAP’s September 2026 security patch day address high-severity flaws in ABAP Developer Tools, Integration Suite, NetWeaver Business Client, NetWeaver, and Commerce Cloud (Search And Navigation).
