CVE-2026-50752 is an improper certificate validation vulnerability in Check Point Security Gateway and Spark Firewall implementations of the deprecated IKEv1 key exchange protocol. The flaw affects site-to-site VPN connections that use IKEv1 with certificate-based authentication. A weakness in the IKEv1 certificate validation logic during VPN negotiation can allow an unauthenticated attacker who is positioned as a man-in-the-middle between VPN peers to bypass certificate validation and impersonate a VPN endpoint. Successful exploitation can undermine the trust model of the tunnel and expose traffic traversing the site-to-site VPN to interception or modification.
