## What is CVE-2026-27682?

CVE-2026-27682 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap, published on 12 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

Due to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP (Applications based on Business Server Pages), an unauthenticated attacker could craft a URL that exploits an unprotected URL parameter to embed a malicious script. If a victim clicks the link, the injected input is processed during web page generation, resulting in the execution of malicious content in the victim�s browser context. This could allow the attacker to access and/or modify information, impacting the confidentiality and integrity of the application, with no impact to availability.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)
