CVE-2026-40128 is a critical directory traversal vulnerability in the Web Container of SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted HTTP logon request that manipulates file inclusion parameters, causing path traversal outside the intended application context and triggering processing of the referenced file. Public reporting indicates the vulnerable component is the Web Container logon handling path and that exploitation occurs through malicious inclusion input in the HTTP logon request. Successful exploitation can expose files outside the intended directory scope and, because the target file is processed rather than merely referenced, can enable unauthorized reading or modification of sensitive information and disruption of local system availability. Reported affected versions include ENGINEAPI 7.50.
