In short

An attacker can bypass security checks to upload and run harmful scripts on Check Point's management server without needing a password. This is critical because the management server controls all security policies.

Technical detail

Unauthenticated directory traversal combined with arbitrary file upload enables remote code execution on the Management Server. The vulnerability allows attackers to traverse directory restrictions and upload malicious scripts that execute with server privileges, bypassing authentication requirements entirely.
