Quantum Security Management
Monthly
Privilege escalation in Check Point Gaia Portal allows an authenticated user holding only read-only administrative privileges to execute arbitrary commands as root, giving full compromise of the affected Quantum Security Gateway or Security Management appliance. The flaw (CWE-269, improper privilege management) is vendor-reported via advisory sk185153 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 with high attack complexity. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in Check Point Quantum Security Management and Multi-Domain Security Management lets an unauthenticated remote attacker (CVSS:3.1 PR:N) run administrative commands directly on the Management Server, and potentially pivot to command execution on the managed Security Gateways it controls. It affects a broad range of releases (R77.30 through R82.10) up to specific Jumbo Hotfix Takes, but real-world exploitability hinges on the Management Server being network-reachable without firewall protection or without a restrictive Trusted Clients policy. At time of analysis there is no public exploit identified and no CISA KEV listing, so this is a high-severity but not-yet-weaponized issue.
Authentication bypass in the Check Point SmartConsole login process lets an unauthenticated remote attacker mint a valid application login token and log in with full administrative privileges to Quantum Security Management and Multi-Domain Security Management servers (CWE-287, CVSS 4.0 9.3). Once authenticated, the attacker can rewrite security policies and configurations across managed gateways. It is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) with publicly available exploit code, though Check Point reports only a very small number of affected customers, and the EPSS score is a modest 1.07% (61st percentile), consistent with targeted rather than mass exploitation.
Cross-domain RBAC bypass in Check Point Quantum Security Management allows an authenticated administrator with read-write access to one Management Domain (CMA) to modify Compliance Best Practices metadata stored in a separate Management Domain where they hold no permissions. The underlying root cause is SQL injection (CWE-89, corroborated by the 'SQLi' intelligence tag), suggesting the Compliance feature's metadata storage does not enforce domain-level query isolation. Affected releases span R81.10 and below, R81.20 up to Jumbo Hotfix Take 127, R82 up to Jumbo Hotfix Take 91, and R82.10 up to Jumbo Hotfix Take 19. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS of 0.04% reflects low observed exploitation probability.
