Saudi Arabia might have had access to nuclear weapons for a while, as part of an arrangement with Pakistan.

It's a gentleman's agreement before Imran Khan entered the political arena.
Imran Khan leaned pro-Qatar, which irked KSA, especially because IK turned down joining Saudi's coalition in Yemen.
It was around this time that KSA began charting it's own independent course, just like UAE.
That said, I sincerely hope my prediction is just paranoia and that I'm wrong.
It's UAE and Saudi's deal flow that got me worried recently. I'm seeing those guys everywhere in the defense tech space now, and if Saudi and UAE are stockpiling, then every other semi-competent regional power is as well.
