CVE-2026-93616: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'). in checkpoint Quantum Security Management
A directory traversal and file upload vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts on Check Point Management Server.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-93616) involves improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22) in Check Point Quantum Security Management. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to perform directory traversal and upload arbitrary scripts, which can then be executed on the management server. This results in full compromise potential of the affected system. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts on the Check Point Management Server, leading to complete compromise of the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the management server and monitor for suspicious activity related to file uploads.
