In rare scenarios, the cpca process on the Security Management Server / Domain Management Server may exit unexpectedly, creating a core dump file. When the cpca process is down, VPN and SIC connectivity issues may occur if the CRL is not present in the Security Gateway's CRL cache.

Untrusted DLLs in the installer's directory may be loaded and executed, leading to potentially arbitrary code execution with the installer's privileges (admin).

Log files uploaded during troubleshooting by the Harmony SASE agent may have been accessible to unauthorized parties.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Harmony Endpoint Security Client for Windows versions E88.10 and below. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute local privileged code on the target system.

Authenticated Gaia users can inject code or commands by global variables through special HTTP requests. A Security fix that mitigates this vulnerability is available.

Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security before 15.8.211.19229 allows local users to escalate privileges. This occurs because of weak permissions for the %PROGRAMDATA%\CheckPoint\ZoneAlarm\Data\Updates directory, and a self-protection driver bypass that allows creation of a junction directory. This can be leveraged to perform an arbitrary file move as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

The IPsec VPN blade has a dedicated portal for downloading and connecting through SSL Network Extender (SNX). If the portal is configured for username/password authentication, it is vulnerable to a brute-force attack on usernames and passwords.

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Buffer overflow in the PKI Web Service in Check Point Firewall-1 PKI Web Service allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long (1) Authorization or (2) Referer HTTP header to TCP port 18624. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, stating "Check Point Security Alert Team has analyzed this report. We've tried to reproduce the attack on all VPN-1 versions from NG FP2 and above with and without HFAs. The issue was not reproduced. We have conducted a thorough analysis of the relevant code and verified that we are secure against this attack. We consider this attack to pose no risk to Check Point customers." In addition, the original researcher, whose reliability is unknown as of 20090407, also states that the issue "was discovered during a pen-test where the client would not allow further analysis.

Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro before 6.5.737.000 does not properly test for equivalence of process identifiers for certain Microsoft Windows API functions in the NT kernel 5.0 and greater, which allows local users to call these functions, and bypass firewall rules or gain privileges, via a modified identifier that is one, two, or three greater than the canonical identifier.

TrueVector in Check Point ZoneAlarm 8.0.020.000, with vsmon.exe running, allows remote HTTP proxies to cause a denial of service (crash) and disable the HIDS module via a crafted response.

Check Point Web Intelligence does not properly handle certain full-width and half-width Unicode character encodings, which might allow remote attackers to evade detection of HTTP traffic.

Check Point VPN-1 R55, R65, and other versions, when Port Address Translation (PAT) is used, allows remote attackers to discover intranet IP addresses via a packet with a small TTL, which triggers an ICMP_TIMXCEED_INTRANS (aka ICMP time exceeded in-transit) response containing an encapsulated IP packet with an intranet address, as demonstrated by a TCP packet to the firewall management server on port 18264.
