- Exploitation
- CISA lists CVE-2026-85102 as exploited in the wild.
CERT-FR issued an advisory covering multiple vulnerabilities in Check Point Security Gateway, Security Management Server, and Spark Firewall products. The flaws allow an attacker to achieve remote arbitrary code execution and bypass configured security policies, tracked as CVE-2026-85102 and CVE-2026-85103. Affected versions include R81.20, R82, and R82.10 prior to their respective 'take 24' builds.
Check Point notes that older versions (R80, R80.10, R80.20, R80.30, R80.40, R81, R81.10) are end-of-service and will not receive patches, meaning organizations still running these releases have no vendor remediation path and should prioritize migration to a supported, patched version. No in-the-wild exploitation is mentioned in the advisory. Defenders operating Check Point Security Gateway, Security Management, or Spark Firewalls should apply the take 24 updates for their respective R81.20/R82/R82.10 branches per Check Point's sk1000117 and sk1000118 bulletins, and treat unsupported legacy versions as a priority upgrade risk.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
