🔒 Multiple official SAP npm packages were recently compromised in a supply-chain operation that installs a malicious preinstall script during package installation. The script downloads the Bun runtime and executes an obfuscated payload that harvests a wide range of secrets — including npm and GitHub tokens, SSH keys, cloud credentials, Kubernetes configs, and CI/CD environment variables — and exfiltrates them to public GitHub repositories. Researchers attribute the campaign with medium confidence to TeamPCP and warn it includes self-propagation logic to modify other packages using stolen credentials.

⚠️ Researchers have uncovered a supply-chain campaign dubbed the "mini Shai-Hulud" that poisoned multiple SAP-related npm packages to install credential-stealing malware during installation. The malicious releases added a preinstall hook that fetched and executed a platform-specific Bun binary, harvesting local credentials, GitHub and npm tokens, CI secrets, and cloud credentials. Analysts from Aikido Security, SafeDep, Socket, StepSecurity and Wiz advise rotating tokens, inspecting workflows, and upgrading to patched releases.

🔒 April's Patch Tuesday addresses critical vulnerabilities across major vendors. Patches fix a near-critical SQL injection in SAP (CVE-2026-27681) that enables arbitrary database commands, an actively exploited RCE in Adobe Acrobat Reader (CVE-2026-34621), and numerous high-severity Microsoft, Fortinet, and ColdFusion issues. FortiSandbox fixes close authentication-bypass and command-injection holes, while Adobe's ColdFusion updates remediate multiple code execution and path-traversal flaws. Organizations should prioritize vendor updates and apply mitigations where immediate patching is not possible.

🔒 Microsoft’s April Patch Tuesday addresses 167 vulnerabilities, including an actively exploited SharePoint Server zero-day and a critical Windows IKE remote code execution bug. Administrators should prioritize CVE-2026-32201 in SharePoint and the 9.8-rated CVE-2026-33824 in the Windows IKE service. Temporary mitigations—blocking UDP ports 500/4500 or restricting traffic to known peers—reduce risk but do not replace patching. Teams must also apply critical SAP fixes and validate Microsoft Defender and Active Directory protections.

🤖 SAP Concur and Google Cloud modernized expense automation by upgrading ExpenseIt from OCR-first processing to an agentic AI workflow that reasons about missing data. The system combines a deterministic text-extraction core with a Gemini-powered Receipt Analysis Agent that triggers only for ambiguous receipts. Using routing, contextual reasoning, and tool access to travel and calendar data, the agent infers missing fields and completes entries, reducing manual corrections and speeding expense submission.

🔒 SAP, Microsoft, Adobe and many other vendors released patches this month for multiple critical and high‑risk vulnerabilities, including remote code execution and authentication bypasses.

Microsoft fixed 59 vulnerabilities, including six actively exploited zero-days that can bypass protections, escalate privileges, or cause DoS. SAP patched two critical bugs — a SQL injection in CRM/S/4HANA (CVE-2026-0488, CVSS 9.9) and a missing authorization in NetWeaver ABAP (CVE-2026-0509, CVSS 9.6) — which may require kernel updates and role or UCON adjustments. Intel and Google also disclosed five TDX 1.5 vulnerabilities and numerous improvement suggestions; Adobe released multiple product updates with no known in-the-wild exploits reported.

🕵️‍♂️ Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 reports a state-sponsored threat actor tracked as TGR-STA-1030/UNC6619 has run global-scale "Shadow Campaigns," compromising at least 70 government and critical infrastructure organizations across 37 countries and conducting reconnaissance tied to 155 countries. The actor has been active since at least January 2024 and is assessed to operate from Asia. Initial access combined tailored phishing lures hosted on Mega.nz with exploitation of known flaws in SAP Solution Manager, Microsoft Exchange, D-Link, and Windows to deploy loaders such as Diaoyu. Victim environments were instrumented with Cobalt Strike, webshells, tunneling tools, and a bespoke Linux eBPF rootkit named ShadowGuard to hide activity and evade detection.

🔒 The Chief Trust Officer (CTrO) marks a shift from defending systems to safeguarding corporate credibility, responding to eroded customer confidence after breaches and AI concerns. Early adopters such as Atlassian, Salesforce and SAP and analyst research from Forrester show the role consolidates privacy, security, compliance and ethics. Unlike a traditional CISO, the CTrO focuses on reputation, transparency and customer trust while partnering with security teams to operationalize measurable signals of trust. Success depends on board visibility, leadership backing and demonstrable behavior change.

🔐 Fortinet, Ivanti, and SAP have released urgent patches to address high-severity authentication and code-execution flaws affecting FortiOS, FortiWeb, FortiProxy, FortiSwitchManager, Ivanti Endpoint Manager, and multiple SAP products.

The vendor's latest patch adds a JVM-wide serial filter (jdk.serialFilter) to block dangerous classes and packages — a list curated with the ORL and recommended by security firm Onapsis — and complements an earlier remediation issued last month. Other critical fixes include a directory traversal in SAP Print Service (CVE-2025-42937, 9.8) and an unrestricted file upload in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (CVE-2025-42910, 9.0); administrators are urged to apply patches and mitigations immediately.

⚖️ The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into whether SAP engaged in anti-competitive conduct in aftermarket services for its on‑premise ERP software. The probe focuses on four practices: mandatory uniform support across products, blocking termination of unused licenses, extending non‑terminable initial support terms, and charging reinstatement fees equal to prior amounts. The Commission says these practices could limit competition from third‑party support providers and amount to unfair trading conditions. SAP says its policies follow industry standards and expects no significant financial impact.

🚀 Google Cloud and SAP announced tighter integration to unify enterprise data and accelerate intelligent automation. SAP Business Data Cloud now connects to BigQuery via Datasphere, enabling bidirectional replication and AI-ready analytics. Procurement is simplified on the Google Cloud Marketplace with SAP BTP. New agent tooling—Agentspace, the Agent Development Kit, A2A and MCP standards—and expanded M4 memory-optimized VMs certified for SAP HANA aim to speed deployments, improve data consistency, and enable autonomous process automation.
