SAP Fixes Four Maximum-Severity Flaws, Including Two That Could Enable Remote Code Execution

Summary
SAP fixed four CVSS 10.0 flaws in NetWeaver and Web Dispatcher that reportedly require no login or user action. Two could enable remote code execution; others could allow privileged SAML logins or unauthorized SAP Gateway actions.
Key points
- SAP says all four flaws are CVSS 10.0 and require no user action; the article says they can be exploited without logging in.
- CVE-2026-76964 in the Internet Communication Manager and CVE-2026-89126 in Web Dispatcher could allow remote code execution through crafted network traffic.
- CVE-2026-120017 could allow attackers to log in as users, including privileged users, on some systems using SAML single sign-on.
- CVE-2026-89103 could let an external attacker impersonate an SAP application server and take unauthorized actions through the Gateway.
- SAP recommends prioritizing the fixes. RedRays advises updating the kernel and all Web Dispatchers in one rollout.
