Unauthenticated script execution via traversal-enabled file upload
Published Sep 22, 2026 · Updated Sep 22, 2026
Path traversal in Check Point Quantum Security Management R80 through R82.20 allows remote attackers to upload and execute scripts. Check Point has not identified the upload handler or disclosed how traversal sequences escape its intended storage directory. No authentication is required; successful exploitation places attacker-controlled scripts on the management server and runs them there.
