# CVE-2026-93616: Check Point Multiple Products Path Traversal Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Check Point Multiple Products. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-09-22, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2026-09-25 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 75.9% , percentile 99.5: FIRST’s model estimates a 75.9% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.5% 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.
- Editorial verdict: Act now. Check Point: Exploited VPN Gateway and Management RCEs — Check Point shops should patch both gateways and management servers now: each flaw is unauthenticated RCE, both are exploited, and fixing one tier does not fix the other.

## What it is

A directory traversal and file upload vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts on Check Point Management Server.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- checkpoint Quantum Security Management: R82.20 with no Jumbo Hotfix, R82.10 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 44 or below, R82 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 126 or below, R81.20 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 166 or below, R81.10 (EOS) with Jumbo Hotfix Take 190 or below, R81 (EOS), R80.40 (EOS), R80.30 (EOS), R80.20 (EOS), R80.10 (EOS), R80 (EOS)

## Severity

- checkpoint CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: added 2026-09-22; federal due date 2026-09-25. Known ransomware use: Unknown.
- CISA required action: 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.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 75.87% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 99.5.
