Summary

Triage

Attack surface: Server-side
Exploitable: At runtime
Attack vector: network
Weakness: CWE-200 Information Exposure

The summary, impact and action text on this page are written by our AI analysis pipeline, or taken from the NVD description when a CVE was imported from NVD. They are not the vendor's wording: check them against the sources. A longer AI executive summary and technical analysis are generated for signed-in accounts on the Max plan.

Affected products

Product	Affected versions	Vendor says fixed in
checkpoint Check Point Quantum Gateway, Spark Gateway and CloudGuard Network	Check Point Quantum Gateway and CloudGuard Network versions R81.20, R81.10, R81, R80.40 and Check Point Spark versions R81.10, R80.20.Vendor says fixed in: not stated	Not stated by the vendor

As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.

Fix and mitigation

WAF and other mitigations

Can a WAF block it? No. The vulnerability involves reading information on security gateways remotely over the network, but the description does not specify HTTP or web requests. Since it is a network-level issue without details on request content, a web application firewall cannot filter the attack.

Also consider: response filtering

Based on an AI reading of the CVE description, and no vendor rule found yet. We check Cloudflare, AWS, Google Cloud Armor and Azure; for Akamai, Imperva, Fastly, F5, ask your vendor.

Common questions

Is CVE-2024-24919 being exploited?

Yes. CVE-2024-24919 appears in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which means exploitation in the wild has been confirmed and reported. Treat it as active rather than theoretical, and patch it ahead of higher-scoring vulnerabilities that carry no exploitation evidence.

How severe is CVE-2024-24919?

CVE-2024-24919 is rated High with a CVSS score of 8.6. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.

Is there a patch for CVE-2024-24919?

Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2024-24919. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.

What does CVE-2024-24919 affect?

CVE-2024-24919 affects checkpoint:quantum_spark_firmware, checkpoint:quantum_security_gateway_firmware, checkpoint:cloudguard_network_security. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.

Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.
