CVE-2026-120013SAP_SE SAP Cloud SDK for Python path traversal
CVE-2026-120013 is a path traversal in SAP_SE SAP Cloud SDK for Python, rated high (7.5 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Awaiting Analysis
What it is
A file name from the request can climb out of the intended folder with sequences like ../, reaching files the service never meant to expose.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade SAP_SE SAP Cloud SDK for Python to 0.50.0 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
The agent_memory module accepts a caller-supplied tenant parameter in create_client(tenant=...). Prior to version 0.50.0, the tenant parameter was not validated before being used to construct filesystem paths for secret resolution. A value containing path traversal sequences (for example, attacker-corp/../victim-corp) could cause the resolved path to escape the intended directory and access another tenant's secrets under:Plain Text/etc/secrets/appfnd/hana-agent-memory/<tenant>/Successful exploitation could allow unauthorized access to another tenant's mounted credentials, including OAuth client IDs and client secrets. This vulnerability could enable cross-tenant access to sensitive credentials.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- File storage the service can read or write. The flaw sits between the application and the file system it can reach.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between the application and the file system it can reach. An attacker who crosses it can read or write files outside the folders the service meant to expose.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does SAP_SE SAP Cloud SDK for Python run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
