Local privilege escalation to root in the DynamicCLI daemon via local world-writable control socket

The Gaia OS DynamicCLI daemon runs as root and listens on a world-writable local socket (/tmp/dynamic_socket) without authenticating connecting processes. An authenticated local user can send a command to the socket and have it executed as root.

Input Validation Vulnerability in Gaia Portal backend handlers allows privilege escalation by an authenticated user

An input and authorization validation vulnerability in Gaia Portal backend handlers could allow an authenticated, non-administrative user to perform privileged operations that should be restricted to administrators.

NULL pointer deref in signature_algorithms processing

An OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack. A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted by this issue. All OpenSSL 1.1.1 versions are affected by this issue. Users of these versions should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1k. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not impacted by this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1k (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1j).

Improper Certificate Validation in Quantum Security Gateway

Improper certificate trust validation during VPN negotiation in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the Gateway.

Directory Traversal and File upload allows execution of arbitrary script on the Management Server

A directory traversal and file upload vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts on Check Point Management Server.

Stack overflow in login process to the Security Management and Log Servers

A stack overflow during the unauthenticated login process may allow an attacker to run arbitrary code remotely with root privileges.

Heap-based Buffer Overflow in VPN Certificate ASN.1 Decoding

A heap-based buffer overflow in VPN certificate ASN.1 decoding may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on Check Point Quantum Security Management and Quantum Security Gateway systems.

Authentication Bypass in the SmartConsole Login Process Using an Application Token

An authentication bypass vulnerability in the Check Point SmartConsole login process allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain an application login token and use it to authenticate with full administrative privileges. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to modify security policies and security configurations. Remote exploitation requires internet access to the Management Server IP address and a configuration that does not restrict Trusted Clients. Check Point is aware that this vulnerability is being exploited and has affected a very small number of customers.

Authentication Bypass in Check Point Security Management Server

An authentication bypass vulnerability in Check Point Security Management Server and Multi-Domain Security Management Server (MDS) could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker with network access to Management services to execute arbitrary commands on the Security Management Server. Successful exploitation could result in full compromise of the Security Management system. Check Point discovered this issue internally and has no indication of active exploitation.

Management Authentication Bypass and Privilege Escalation

An authentication bypass vulnerability in Check Point Security Management and Multi-Domain Security Management allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute administrative commands on the Management Server. Successful exploitation may also allow command execution on managed Security Gateways. Exploitation requires network access to the Management Server without firewall protection or a configuration that does not restrict Trusted Clients.

Local Privilege Escalation in Gaia Portal

A vulnerability in Check Point Gaia Portal allows an authenticated attacker with read-only Gaia Portal privileges to execute commands with root privileges.

Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Check Point Identity Agent Full for Windows OS

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Check Point Identity Agent Full for Windows OS. An authenticated local user may be able to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges due to improper handling of executable resolution during the log collection process. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges on the affected Windows endpoint.

User Authentication Bypass in VPN Remote Access and Mobile Access

A logic flow weakness in Remote Access and Mobile Access certificate validation in deprecated IKEv1 key exchange allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass user authentication and establish a remote access VPN connection without a valid user password.

Certificate Validation Bypass in VPN Site-to-Site Connections Using IKEv1

A weakness in the certificate validation logic of the deprecated IKEv1 key exchange may allow an unauthenticated attacker positioned as a man-in-the-middle to bypass certificate validation in VPN site-to-site connections that use certificate-based authentication. Successful exploitation could allow interception or modification of traffic traversing the VPN tunnel.

Authenticated Administrator Role-Based Access Control Bypass in Compliance

When Compliance is enabled on Check Point Multi-Domain Management, an authenticated administrator with read-write access to one Management Domain (CMA) can modify stored metadata associated with Compliance Best Practices in another Management Domain, where the administrator has no access permissions, bypassing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows versions earlier than E86.40 copy files for forensics reports from a directory with low privileges. An attacker can replace those files with malicious or linked content, such as exploiting CVE-2020-0896 on unpatched systems or using symbolic links.

SQL injection issue in UserCheck Portal when DLP Software Blade is active

When the DLP is active, the UserCheck Web Portal contains an input-handling issue in the UserChoice flow. Under specific conditions, an attacker who can access the UserCheck Ask page could attempt to manipulate the Security Gateway's stored DLP/UserCheck incident information. This could lead to disruptions such as loss of stored incident entries, incorrect handling of pending approvals, or resource impact if the issue is abused repeatedly. Exposure is reduced if the UserCheck Portal is not accessible from untrusted networks.

Identity Awareness Captive Portal - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion

When the Identity Awareness blade is enabled with Browser-Based Authentication, an unauthenticated user may be able to read certain internal files on the Security Gateway.

VPN service may restart unexpectedly when processing IKE traffic over NAT-T 4500/UDP

The Security Gateway does not correctly validate a length value in certain IKE packets when NAT-T is used (4500/UDP). As a result, a specially crafted or malformed packet can cause the VPN processing service to terminate unexpectedly, leading to denial of service (temporary interruption of VPN negotiations/traffic).

HTTP service can incorrectly process malformed HTTP requests

A Check Point HTTP-based service can incorrectly handle malformed HTTP requests. The issue is related to HTTP request parsing and validation.
