AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated administrator with read‑write privileges in one Management Domain can edit compliance metadata that belongs to a different domain where the administrator has no access permissions, bypassing RBAC. This flaw enables the attacker to alter records used for compliance verification. Based on the description, it is inferred that these unauthorized changes might impact audit reports.

Affected Systems

Checkpoint Quantum Security Management is affected when Compliance is enabled in a Multi‑Domain Management environment. The vulnerability applies to all deployments that allow cross‑domain administrators to update compliance best practice metadata, but no specific software version is listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.1 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no well‑known widespread exploitation. The attack requires legitimate administrator credentials with write access in at least one domain; such accounts are typically privileged and limited in number. If an attacker obtains such credentials, they can change compliance data in other domains. The overall likelihood depends on the organization’s domain segregation and the number of cross‑domain users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Monitor Check Point product updates and install any released patch that addresses the RBAC bypass immediately.
  • Restrict cross‑domain read‑write privileges for administrators, ensuring they only have write access in authorized domains.
  • Enforce strict domain boundary checks in the compliance metadata update workflow, rejecting updates that target unauthorized domains.
  • Enable detailed audit logging for all compliance metadata changes and configure alerts for unauthorized modifications.
  • Review SQL statements handling compliance metadata to ensure they use parameterized queries and validate inputs, mitigating potential injection (CWE‑89).
