Advisory Summary

CVE-2026-58240 is a CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-308: Use of Single-factor Authentication) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product uses an authentication algorithm that uses a single factor (e.g., a password) in a security context that should require more than one factor.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2026-58240

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-58240, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-308: Use of Single-factor Authentication, where the product uses an authentication algorithm that uses a single factor (e.g., a password) in a security context that should require more than one factor. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

SAP NetWeaver Message Server does not sufficiently validate the authenticity of internal application server components during registration. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the affected service could exploit this weakness to register an unauthorized component and potentially perform unauthorized actions within the application environment, resulting in a high impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
