SAP/astonish: Insufficient Granularity of Access Control
CVE-2026-109797 is a high-severity insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability in SAP/astonish from SAP, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. Affected SAP/astonish versions: <v3.6.0. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
In SAP/astonish, an authenticated user could potentially identify and operate on another team�s sandbox containers because of improper tenant isolation in the legacy Incus sandbox-management API handlers. The affected handlers did not use the tenant-aware session lookup path, allowing cross-tenant container operations such as listing, exposing or proxying, and deleting containers.The issue affects only the legacy Incus backend. Kubernetes and OpenShell deployments are not affected because the relevant Incus-specific handlers are unavailable there.

The underlying weakness: Insufficient Granularity of Access Control
The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack the required granularity
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Access-control-policy protections must be reviewed for design inconsistency and common weaknesses. Access-control-policy definition and programming flow must be tested in pre-silicon, post-silicon testing.
