Critical Vulnerabilities in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway and Security Management Server

14 September 2026

Attackers can exploit critical vulnerabilities in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway and Security Management Server to perform remote code execution without authentication. Patch immediately.

Background

Check Point has released security updates to address multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-85102 and CVE-2026-85103) affecting Check Point Quantum Security Gateway, Security Management Server, and Spark Firewall. These vulnerabilities have a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS v3.1) score of 9.8 out of 10 each.

Impact

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to the following:

  • CVE-2026-85102: Due to improper validation of certificate data during VPN negotiation, an unauthenticated remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the affected Security Gateway.

  • CVE-2026-85103: Due to a heap overflow vulnerability in the VPN certificate ASN.1 decoding process, an unauthenticated remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the affected Security Gateway or Security Management Server.

Mitigation

For Site-to-Site VPN deployments that cannot be patched immediately, Check Point recommends disabling implied VPN rules and restricting VPN access for UDP ports 500 and 4500 to known peer IP addresses. Note that this mitigation option is not applicable to the locally managed Spark Firewall.
