SAP Security Patch Day February 2026 opened with another dense security cycle. This month’s Security Patch Day brought 26 new Security Notes and one update, with SAP rating two as critical, seven high, 16 medium, and two low.
But volume alone rarely tells the story. Exposure develops through the way ABAP services, integrations, and administrative pathways operate together, which means identical CVSS scores can translate into very different outcomes between landscapes.
SAPinsider maintains a continuously updated SAP Security Patch Day risk analysis for readers tracking developments across the year.
Where Critical SAP Vulnerabilities Demand Attention
February’s two critical notes land in technology that many organizations treat as routine.
Researchers at Onapsis, who contributed to several of the month’s fixes, drew attention to the Code Injection vulnerability in SAP CRM and SAP S/4HANA (Scripting Editor) (CVSS 9.9) , which can permit unauthorized actions capable of influencing database activity. Those paths often underpin automation and reporting flows that extend across multiple systems.
The second critical item, the Missing Authorization Check in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and the ABAP Platform (CVSS 9.6), presents a different challenge. SAP’s guidance includes kernel and profile measures alongside transports, steps that may require careful scheduling inside production change windows.
High-priority notes widen the field of attention. The XML Signature Wrapping vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and ABAP Platform (CVSS 8.8) introduces identity and message integrity questions in landscapes that depend on signed exchanges. Other notes affecting shared services, such as SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform and the SAP Solution Tools Plug-In, carry potential impact because those components sit across many environments.
What February Reveals About SAP’s Risk Surface
February reinforces a pattern seen across recent Patch Days. The most disruptive weaknesses frequently emerge in mechanisms that already operate with trusted authority.
Analysis from Onapsis ties several of this month’s fixes to externally reported research, showing how independent testing continues to surface gaps in scripting, authorization, and trusted execution paths customers rely on daily.
Pathlock frames SAP Security Notes as part of an operating rhythm. Regular review, structured prioritization, and disciplined follow-through keep security aligned with how access and integrations actually work.
SecurityBridge highlights the practical challenge after publication. Applicability depends on system role, exposure, and configuration, so each organization must map SAP’s release to its own dependencies, transports, and validation cycles.
The result is a familiar conclusion for experienced teams. Patch Day starts the response process, but risk reduction depends on how well enterprises understand the relationships among ABAP services, interfaces, and privileged identities once the notes arrive.
What This Means for ERP Insiders
Critical fixes hit everyday system pathways. Code injection and authorization weaknesses often sit in services teams rely on for automation, integration, and reporting. Validate reachability, review RFC and scripting exposure, and confirm business owners understand potential downstream effects.
CVSS does not equal enterprise impact. Severity ratings describe the vulnerability, while architecture and trust relationships determine consequences. Map notes to real usage, privileged identities, and cross-system dependencies before setting deployment order.
Patch Day begins the real work. Publication triggers analysis, scheduling, and validation across security teams. Sustainable risk reduction depends on repeatable triage, coordinated change control, and verification once transports move to production.
