CRITICAL 9.8EXPLOITEDREMOTEUPGRADEUPGRADE
CVE-2026-93616 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting multi-domain security management, quantum security management, reported as exploited in the wild. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
A directory traversal and file upload vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts on Check Point Management Server.
Why this priority
- Critical severity
- EPSS top 1%: very likely to be exploited
- Exploited in the wild (CISA KEV)
- CISA SSVC: automatable with total technical impact
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
A fixed release or distro patch exists.

checkpoint multi-domain security management UPGRADE
Affected: >= r80 and < r81.10 · r81.10 · r81.10 take_106 · r81.10 take_107 · r81.10 take_109 · r81.10 take_110 · r81.10 take_113 · r81.10 take_128
Fixed in: r81.10
Safe to downgrade to: a release before r80
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy multi-domain-security-management || rpm -q multi-domain-security-management || multi-domain-security-management --version
2. UPGRADE to r81.10 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade multi-domain-security-management
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade multi-domain-security-management
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before r80 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison multi-domain-security-management
sudo apt install multi-domain-security-management=<VERSION_BEFORE_r80>
sudo apt-mark hold multi-domain-security-management
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list multi-domain-security-management
sudo dnf downgrade multi-domain-security-management-<VERSION_BEFORE_r80>
sudo dnf versionlock add multi-domain-security-management
Downgrade risk
Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
