Four were rated Critical.

The highest-rated flaw is a memory corruption issue in Extended Passport processing at CVSS 10.0, tracked as CVE-2026-44756. A missing authentication check in the NetWeaver Message Server scored 9.8, tracked as CVE-2026-58240.

Another fix covers credential disclosure in multitenant applications built on the Cloud Application Programming Model at 9.4, tracked as CVE-2026-76969. Improper access control in SAP GUI for Java scored 9.0, tracked as CVE-2026-66768.

SAP rated five more notes High. The highest was an 8.8 privilege escalation in ABAP Developer Tools.

Onapsis, which reviews every Patch Day, wrote, "The new CVSS 10.0 note requires special attention because it can be exploited remotely and without authentication."

Check the Message Server note first. No credentials are needed to reach the flaw, and the Message Server runs on every ABAP system.

Which of your SAP systems will still be unpatched on Friday?
