CVE-2026-93616: Check Point Multiple Products

According to CISA this vulnerability is already used in attacks (added on 22 September 2026).

Key facts

Description (CISA)

Check Point Security Management Server, Multi-Domain Security Management Server, Log Server, Multi-Domain Log Server, and SmartEvent contain a path traversal vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts.

Required action (CISA)

Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

What admins should do now

1. Affected? Check whether Check Point Multiple Products is in use and which version runs (package manager, admin UI, --version).
2. Apply the vendor patch or workaround as soon as it exists. If that is not possible right away: restrict outside access (firewall, VPN, reverse proxy).
3. Review logs back to 22 September 2026: unusual logins, new files, unexpected processes, outbound connections.
4. If you suspect a compromise: isolate the system, rotate credentials, check the last backup from before the incident.

The deadline applies to US federal agencies. It is still a useful yardstick for everyone: when a flaw is attacked in the wild, waiting is not an option.
