CVE-2026-50751
Overview
This vulnerability is an authentication bypass caused by a logic flaw in the certificate validation process within the deprecated IKEv1 key exchange protocol. The flaw exists in the Remote Access and Mobile Access components of the Check Point Quantum Security Gateway, specifically in the handling of certificate validation during VPN connection establishment. The root cause is improper validation logic that fails to verify user credentials correctly, allowing unauthorized access through the affected authentication mechanism.
Vulnerability Description
A logic flow weakness in Remote Access and Mobile Access certificate validation in deprecated IKEv1 key exchange allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass user authentication and establish a remote access VPN connection without a valid user password.
Impact
An attacker can establish a remote access VPN connection without supplying valid user credentials, effectively bypassing authentication controls. This requires no authentication or user interaction and grants the attacker unauthorized network access through the VPN gateway. The consequence is unauthorized access to internal network resources, potentially leading to data exposure, lateral movement within the network, and undermining of perimeter security controls.
Solution
Apply the security update provided by Check Point as detailed in advisory SK185033 available at https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk185033. The fix addresses the certificate validation logic in Gaia OS versions r81.20 and related take releases. Administrators should upgrade affected Quantum Security Gateway devices to the patched Gaia OS version as specified in the advisory to mitigate the vulnerability.
