CVE-2026-48135: CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow in checkpoint Quantum Security Gateway
CVE-2026-48135 is a medium severity heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Check Point's Quantum Security Gateway. It arises from improper handling of malformed HTTP requests by an HTTP-based service, specifically related to HTTP request parsing and validation. The vulnerability affects multiple versions of the product, including R82.10 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 6 or below, R82 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 91 or below, R81.20 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 127 or below, and all releases from R81.10 and below. There is no confirmed patch or official remediation available at this time, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-48135) in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway involves a heap-based buffer overflow triggered by malformed HTTP requests due to improper parsing and validation. The flaw affects several versions of the product as listed, potentially allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service or other impact related to application availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to availability. No official fix or patch has been confirmed, and no exploits are currently known.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can lead to a denial of service condition by causing a heap-based buffer overflow in the affected HTTP service. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, so the immediate risk appears limited. However, successful exploitation could disrupt service availability of the Quantum Security Gateway.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or patch is currently documented, users should monitor Check Point advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, consider limiting exposure of the affected HTTP service to untrusted networks if possible.
