CVE-2026-76969: Credential disclosure in multitenant applications using SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP)
@sap/cds-mtxs NPM library does not perform sufficient checks on certain functionality used in multitenant CAP applications with extensibility enabled. An unauthenticated attacker could send specially crafted requests to obtain sensitive credentials and abuse them to replace or delete tenant data. Successful exploitation can result in a high impact on availability and integrity of the application. There may also be partial impact to the confidentiality of business data.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A flaw in SAP CAP multitenant applications can let an unauthenticated remote attacker obtain sensitive credentials. Those credentials could enable tenant data replacement or deletion and may expose some business data. Risk is concentrated in applications using affected @sap/cds-mtxs versions with extensibility enabled.
Executive priority
Treat confirmed exposed deployments as an emergency remediation item. Inventory immediately, apply SAP-approved guidance, and investigate possible credential misuse or tenant-data changes. Systems without the affected library and required feature combination are lower priority after configuration is verified.
Technical view
The @sap/cds-mtxs library insufficiently validates certain multitenancy functionality when extensibility is enabled. CVSS 3.1 rates exploitation as network-accessible, low complexity, requiring neither privileges nor user interaction. Listed affected branches extend through versions 1.18.3, 2.7.6, 3.9.6, and 4.0.2.
Likely exposure
Prioritize internet-accessible or otherwise untrusted-network-accessible CAP applications that combine multitenancy, extensibility, and a listed affected @sap/cds-mtxs version. The bundle marks other configurations unaffected by default, but administrators should verify actual dependencies and configuration rather than relying on product-level inventory.
Exploitation context
The supplied record does not report active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV in the bundle. Nevertheless, the unauthenticated network attack path, low complexity, and potential credential and tenant-data impact create serious exposure. No exploit method or affected endpoint is identified in the sources provided.
Researcher notes
CWE-522 indicates insufficiently protected credentials. The supplied evidence establishes the vulnerable component, configuration dependency, affected version ceilings, and impact, but does not identify the precise functionality, request pattern, patch versions, mitigations, or exploitation in the wild. Avoid broader product assumptions until SAP Note 3798315 is reviewed.
Mitigation direction
Consult SAP Security Note 3798315 for the vendor-approved correction or mitigation.
Upgrade affected @sap/cds-mtxs branches according to SAP guidance.
Reduce untrusted network access to affected applications until remediation is verified.
If compromise is suspected, rotate exposed credentials after containment and review tenant data integrity.
Validation and detection
Inspect lockfiles and deployed artifacts for affected @sap/cds-mtxs versions.
Confirm whether each application enables both multitenancy and extensibility.
Verify the vendor-approved update is present in every deployed instance.
Review access logs for unusual unauthenticated requests against multitenancy functionality.
Check tenant data for unexplained replacement, deletion, or unauthorized access.

CWE-522: Credential and account abuse lookup
Authentication and credential weaknesses can make valid-account abuse and credential telemetry useful review starting points. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Insufficiently Protected Credentials represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
