SAP has addressed 20 security flaws across multiple products in its October 2026 security updates, including a maximum-severity vulnerability in the Cloud SDK for Python. The SAP Python SDK is the official programmatic toolkit for developing AI agents and Python applications on the company's SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) services. Tracked as CVE-2026-89111, the maximum-severity vulnerability patched this month can be exploited by remote attackers without privileges to steal credentials. Customers who can't immediately deploy the October 2026 SAP patches can temporarily mitigate the issue by using an allowlist to validate tenant_subdomain values. "The SAP Cloud SDK for Python contains an OAuth2 SSRF vulnerability affecting multi-tenant BTP applications. An attacker who controls the tenant_subdomain parameter can redirect OAuth2 token requests to an attacker-controlled server, causing client credentials to be exfiltrated," according to a Tuesday advisory.

The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) has notified individuals that a security vulnerability exposed personal information stored on one of its file-sharing systems. The vulnerability was discovered on July 16, 2026, and the US office quickly patched the system and restored it. An investigation found that a small number of unauthorized users had accessed files between October 2025 and the discovery date. The files contained unencrypted personal information. “On July 16, 2026, a security vulnerability in a DMDC file sharing system was discovered, which allowed unauthorized users to access files. DMDC immediately updated the file sharing system to patch the vulnerability and the system was restored.” reads a data breach notification letter sent to impacted individuals. “Analysis identified that between October 2025 and the date of discovery, a small number of unauthorized users accessed files on a server containing unencrypted PII. The types of PII involved vary by individual; however, in your case, they include social security number (SSN) and at least one additional identifier such as name, date of birth, contact information, sex, race, and military personnel information (such as occupational specialty).” US Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) notice of data breach (Source Reddit) The data exposed varies by person, but in this case included Social Security numbers (SSNs) and at least one other identifier, such as name, date of birth, contact details, sex, race or military personnel information, including occupational specialty. After discovering the vulnerability, the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) launched its privacy and cybersecurity incident response process in line with U.S. government policies and guidelines. The agency says it is assessing the affected system and taking steps to improve its security. DMDC is also offering 12 months of free credit monitoring through IDX, a company specializing in data breach and recovery services. Individuals affected by the breach are encouraged to contact IDX with any questions and enroll in the service. Enrollment is available through the dedicated IDX website using the enrollment code provided in the notification. The deadline to enroll is August 19, 2027. The credit monitoring is intended to help affected individuals identify potential misuse of their personal information following the breach. At this time, no known cybercrime group claimed responsibilty for the attack. DMDC says it launched privacy and cybersecurity incident response actions after finding the vulnerability.
