Impact
The reported flaw is an SQL injection vulnerability in the UserCheck Web Portal that is triggered when the DLP Software Blade is active. When an attacker can reach the UserCheck Ask page, the input handling in the UserChoice flow allows the injection of malicious SQL statements. This can delete or corrupt stored DLP/UserCheck incident records, cause pending approvals to be handled incorrectly, or degrade system resources if abused repeatedly.
Affected Systems
The affected product is the Checkpoint Quantum Security Gateway, specifically its UserCheck Web Portal component running under the DLP Software Blade. No specific version information is provided, so any deployed instance of this gateway that includes the UserCheck portal while the DLP blade is operational is potentially vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.6, indicating medium severity. The EPSS score is 4% and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, which suggests that no widespread exploitation has been observed yet. However, the attack vector is likely remote via the web portal; an attacker who can access the UserCheck Ask page may exploit the flaw. Exposure is mitigated if the portal is not exposed to untrusted networks, but if those networks can reach the page the risk of data loss or corruption remains significant.
