Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.97%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

An attacker with administrator privileges can leverage this to gain code execution within a Check Point Software Technologies signed binary, where under certain circumstances may cause the client to terminate.
