Description

CVE-2026-120490 is a vulnerability in Checkpoint Scalable Platforms (ElasticXL, Maestro, Chassis) where an administrator with permissions to edit and install Access Control Policy and NAT rules can create a NAT rule that redirects traffic to the Gateway's Sync interface. This bypasses the built-in Sync protection and could allow execution of operating system commands and file writes on the Gateway with superuser privileges. The CVSS score is 3.8, indicating low severity.
