Check Point confirms active exploitation of two VPN gateway flaws
Check Point disclosed that hackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-85102, a pre-authentication remote code execution flaw in its Security Gateway VPN certificate handling, and CVE-2026-93616, a path traversal bug in its Management web service. The company says the path traversal flaw has been exploited as a zero-day since July 23, while exploitation of the gateway flaw began September 12 using VPNs and proxies to mask attacker origin. CISA has added both vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, giving federal agencies until September 25, 2026 to patch.
