From Exploited flaws, HARD’s guide to the flaws being used in attacks · Checked
This article is about a flaw in Check Point Quantum Security Gateways. For every flaw being used in attacks, see Exploited flaws; for Check Point’s, see Check Point flaws being used in attacks.

CVE-2024-24919 is a security flaw in Check Point Quantum Security Gateways. Attackers can read information from Check Point Quantum Security Gateways that should be private. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added it to its catalog of flaws known to be used in attacks on 30 May 2024, and says ransomware gangs have used it.[1]

Check Point Quantum Security Gateways is business software or equipment. Most families won’t have it, but attackers break into it to get inside companies, and from there to what those companies hold about their customers, patients and staff. Check Point has published a fix or advice.

Description

CISA calls it an information disclosure in Check Point Quantum Security Gateways. In its words: “Check Point Quantum Security Gateways contain an unspecified information disclosure vulnerability. The vulnerability potentially allows an attacker to access information on Gateways connected to the internet, with IPSec VPN, Remote Access VPN or Mobile Access enabled. This issue affects several product lines from Check Point, including CloudGuard Network, Quantum Scalable Chassis, Quantum Security Gateways, and Quantum Spark Appliances.”[1]

The underlying weakness is information exposure (CWE-200), in MITRE’s list of common software weaknesses.[2]

It scores 8.6 out of 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, which rates it high, scored by NVD using CVSS 3.1.[2]

Affected versions

NVD’s record doesn’t list version ranges for it; Check Point’s advisory has them[3]. CISA names the product as Check Point Quantum Security Gateways.

Most families won’t have Check Point Quantum Security Gateways; it’s for whoever looks after IT at work.

Exploitation

CISA added it to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities on 30 May 2024, 2 days after it was made public. CISA lists a flaw only when it has reliable evidence of it being exploited, and gave US federal agencies until 20 Jun 2024 to fix it.[1] CISA says ransomware gangs have used it.

FIRST’s Exploit Prediction Scoring System, which estimates how likely a flaw is to be used in attacks in the next 30 days from what it sees across the internet, puts it at over 99%. That’s in the top 1% of the flaws it scores.[4]

CISA assesses it as automatable: attackers can run it against many targets at once.

CISA doesn’t say who was attacked, or how.

Fix

Check Point has published a fix or advice.[3] CISA’s required action: “Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.”[1]

  1. Check whether you use it.Check Point Quantum Security Gateways is business software or equipment, so most families won’t have it. If you run a business, or work from home on company equipment, ask whoever looks after your IT.
  2. Send this page to your IT person.Ask them to confirm it’s fixed, or not in use. CISA gave US government agencies until 20 Jun 2024 to fix it.
  3. If it can’t be fixed, take it offline.CISA’s advice when there’s no fix is to stop using the product, or take it off the internet, until there is one.

You can’t fix someone else’s server, but you can watch for what follows a break-in like this: a breach notice, a password reset you didn’t ask for, or a scam message that knows things it shouldn’t. HARD watches for those for you and your family.
