2026-012: Critical Vulnerabilities in Check Point Products

Check Point released emergency updates on September 9, 2026 addressing two critical vulnerabilities in Security Gateway, Security Management Server, and Spark Firewall products. The flaws, each rated CVSS 9.8, allow unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) on systems configured for Remote Access virtual private network (VPN) or Site-to-Site VPN deployments. CERT-EU urges immediate patching, particularly for internet-facing and perimeter appliances.

Why it matters: Organizations running Check Point Security Gateway, Management Server, or Spark Firewall with virtual private network (VPN) enabled face immediate risk of RCE from unauthenticated attackers and should prioritize applying hotfixes to perimeter devices today.
