Defensive next steps
Match the installed Check Point Multiple Products version and configuration against the linked technical advisory. Apply the manufacturer-approved fixed release or an explicitly documented mitigation; this profile does not guess a fixed version. Verify the patch and review relevant logs afterward. Plan a supported replacement where the product is end-of-life.
Scope and limitations
This is an awareness and defensive-prioritization profile, not a penetration test or a finding that your network is compromised. KEV membership indicates evidence of real-world exploitation. Mandatory CISA deadlines apply to entities covered by the relevant directive, not universally to every reader.
Reported versions and platforms
The table shows up to ten structured version entries from the official CVE-2026-85102 record. Original field names and values are retained deliberately. This is not an automated exposure verdict or a complete list of every product branch; use the full record and vendor advisory for a deployment decision.
| Product in record | Platform | Version fields — original values | Record status |
|---|---|---|---|
| checkpoint — Quantum Security Gateway | — | version=R82.10 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 43 or below | affected |
| checkpoint — Quantum Security Gateway | — | version=R82 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 125 or below | affected |
| checkpoint — Quantum Security Gateway | — | version=R81.20 with Jumbo Hotfix Take 165 or below | affected |
Full record and technical references
Turn the record into an operational decision
For Check Point Multiple Products, record the asset, effective version, enabled feature and access path. When the reference does not map clearly to your package or branch, retain an explicit unknown status and assign follow-up rather than guessing that the system is safe.
After remediation, record the effective running version, health-check outcome and change time, not merely installation success. Evidence of compromise requires the appropriate incident-response workflow; this page does not diagnose any network as compromised or clean.
