What it is about

Eine vereinheitlichte Plattform zur Verwaltung von Sicherheitsrichtlinien, Überwachung des Netzwerkverkehrs und Bereitstellung von Sicherheits-Gateways in der Infrastruktur einer Organisation. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in Check Point Security Management ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, und um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

• Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
• beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen

Am I affected?

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
