CVE-2026-50751 - Check Point IKEv1 Authentication Bypass Exploit
Remote Access VPN Authentication Bypass via Certificate Validation Logic Flaw
Vulnerability: Logic flow weakness in Remote Access and Mobile Access
certificate validation in deprecated IKEv1 key exchange allows unauthenticated
attackers to establish VPN connection without valid user password.
CVSS: 9.3 (Critical)
Affected: R80.40 - R82.10 with IKEv1 enabled
CISA KEV: Added 2026-06-08, due date 2026-06-11
