Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-03 15:32 – Updated: 2026-08-03 15:32

Details

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.

Severity

9.3 (Critical)
