CVE-2024-24914

Authenticated command injection via global variable substitution

Published Nov 7, 2024 · Updated Nov 7, 2024

Command injection in Check Point Gaia R81, R81.10, and R81.20 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via special HTTP requests. Gaia substitutes attacker-controlled global parameter values while processing those requests, allowing Tcl evaluation to interpret injected code or commands. Access to the Gaia Portal from an adjacent network and a valid Gaia account are required; successful exploitation can fully compromise the affected system.
