Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Check Point Software breach identified under incident ID NISCHEHAR1780929039.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Check Point Software's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/check-point-software-technologies, the number of followers: 420046, the industry type: Computer and Network Security and the number of employees: 8356 employees

After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 615 and after the incident was 611 with a difference of -4 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.

In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on Check Point Software and their customers.

On 07 May 2026, Check Point customers (few dozen organizations globally) disclosed Zero-Day Exploitation issues under the banner "Check Point Patches Critical Zero-Day Exploited in VPN Attacks Linked to Qilin Ransomware".

Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point has released urgent security updates to address a critical authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-50751) in its Remote Access VPN and Mobile Access deployments.

The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Remote Access VPN, Mobile Access/SSL VPN, Spark firewalls.

In response, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Disabling IKEv1 support, enforcing IKEv2-only authentication, mandating machine certificate authentication, enabling IPS with updated signatures, and began remediation that includes Security updates/patches released.

The case underscores how Ongoing, and recommending next steps like Immediate patching, disabling IKEv1 support, enforcing IKEv2-only authentication, mandating machine certificate authentication, enabling IPS with updated signatures.

Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.

MITRE ATT&CK® Correlation Analysis

Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including actively exploited in zero-day attacks since May 7, and flaw in Remote Access VPN and Mobile Access deployments and External Remote Services (T1133) with high confidence (90%), supported by evidence indicating remote Access VPN, Mobile Access/SSL VPN, Spark firewalls targeted. Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Modify Authentication Process: Multi-Factor Authentication (T1556.003) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-50751) allows unauthenticated remote attackers and Steal or Forge Authentication Certificates (T1649) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating improper certificate validation in IKEv1 (CVE-2026-50752). Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Exploitation of Remote Services (T1210) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating site-to-site VPN connections vulnerable due to improper certificate validation. Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Use Alternate Authentication Material: Pass the Hash (T1550.002) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating authentication bypass via deprecated IKEv1 protocol and Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify System Firewall (T1562.004) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating spark firewalls affected by authentication bypass. Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Data Encrypted for Impact (T1486) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including qilin ransomware operation involvement, and ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) group and Inhibit System Recovery (T1490) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating qilin ransomware groups typical tactics. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating possible data exfiltration (based on Qilins typical tactics). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
