CVE-2026-91843

CVE-2026-91843 is a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the unauthenticated login process of a Check Point product, as Check Point Software ([email protected]) is the assigning CNA and its CVE scope covers Check Point products. An attacker can trigger the flaw remotely by sending crafted input to the login interface before authenticating, with no user interaction or credentials required. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with root privileges, the highest level of control on the affected system. The vulnerability is rated 9.8 Critical (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, all impacts high), reflecting trivial network exploitability. No public proof-of-concept or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is known at this time, and the source data does not name the specific product line or affected version ranges.

What to do: Monitor Check Point's official advisory channels for the affected product/version list and patch release, and upgrade as soon as fixed versions are published. In the interim, restrict the login/management interface of Check Point appliances to trusted management networks and remove any direct internet exposure, and review perimeter logs for anomalous pre-authentication traffic against that interface.
