Original description
Check Point Firewall, Multi-Domain Security Management Server, Scalable Platforms, Security Gateway, and Security Management Server contain an incorrect permissions assignment for critical resources vulnerability when the Gaia OS DynamicCLI daemon runs as root and listens on a world-writable local socket without authenticating connecting processes. An authenticated local user can send a command to the socket and have it executed as root.
Source material is displayed in its original language. EPSS estimates exploitation probability over the next 30 days; it is not evidence of an attack. An unknown score is not a low score.
Source-recommended action

Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.
