CVE-2025-3831
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedLog files uploaded during troubleshooting by the Harmony SASE agent may have been accessible to unauthorized parties.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Harmony SASE agent uploads log files to a location during troubleshooting that lacks proper access controls, allowing unauthorized parties to view sensitive troubleshooting data. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication, scoring 9.8 due to complete confidentiality impact.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Harmony SASE agent installationIdentify if Checkpoint Harmony SASE agent is installed on the system by checking installed programs, services, or running processes related to Harmony SASEAffected if Harmony SASE agent is present on the system
-
Locate troubleshooting log storageIdentify where the Harmony SASE agent stores troubleshooting logs. Check common locations such as program data folders, installation directories, or configured log paths. Review agent configuration files for log export or upload pathsAffected if Log files or log storage directories exist on the system
-
Check file permissions on log directoriesInspect file system permissions on identified log directories and files. Use OS-native commands (e.g., icacls on Windows, ls -la on Linux) to verify who can read, write, or execute these resourcesAffected if Log files or directories grant read access to unauthorized users, groups, or have overly permissive access controls such as 'Everyone' or 'Anonymous' permissions
-
Test network accessibility of log storageIf logs are served over network shares, HTTP endpoints, or cloud storage, verify whether unauthenticated or unauthorized access is possible. Attempt to access log storage from a non-privileged account or external locationAffected if Log storage is accessible over the network without requiring authentication or proper authorization credentials
-
Review log export/upload configurationExamine Harmony SASE agent configuration settings related to log export, upload, or troubleshooting features. Check if there are settings controlling who can trigger log generation or retrievalAffected if Log upload/retrieval mechanisms lack authentication requirements or allow unauthorized triggering
A user is affected if troubleshooting logs from the Harmony SASE agent are accessible without proper authentication or are stored in locations with overly permissive file permissions that allow unauthorized access.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataEnsure log files uploaded during troubleshooting are stored in access-controlled locations with proper authentication and authorization mechanisms, or encrypt sensitive data at rest.
