The SonicWall Capture Labs threat research team became aware of an exploited-in-the-wild information disclosure vulnerability affecting the Check Point Security Gateways.
Identified as CVE-2024-24919 and given a CVSSv3 score of 8.6, the vulnerability is more severe than it initially appears. While labeled as a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability, it is actually a path traversal attack leading to an arbitrary read, allowing an attacker to read any file on the system. A proof of concept is publicly available on GitHub. To be vulnerable, the gateway needs to have Remote Access VPN or Mobile Access Software Blades enabled. Check Point has made a patch available, and it is advisable to update immediately.
