CVE-2024-24919: Check Point Quantum Security Gateways Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Should you act?

Exploited: patch now if you run it

CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.

• Yes, if you run Check Point Quantum Security Gateways. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-05-30, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-06-20; treat that as the outer limit, not the target. CISA also lists it as known to be used in ransomware campaigns.
• EPSS 100.0%, percentile 100.0: FIRST’s model estimates a 100.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 100.0% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
• Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.

What it is
