Check Point Flags New Protections for Metabase, Windows, GitLab and Chrome Vulnerabilities

Check Point Research · 14 Sept 2026
Key Takeaway If your business uses Metabase, Windows, GitLab or Chrome, check for and apply the latest security patches without delay to close these known vulnerabilities.

Check Point Research has released its weekly Threat Intelligence Bulletin for 14th September, highlighting several newly disclosed vulnerabilities that its Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) now protects against. These include an SQL injection flaw in Metabase, a privilege escalation issue in the Microsoft Windows Update Stack, an arbitrary file read vulnerability in GitLab, and a type confusion bug in Google Chrome.

Each of these vulnerabilities affects widely used business tools: Metabase for data analytics, Windows for core operating system updates, GitLab for software development and version control, and Chrome as a common web browser. Attackers could potentially exploit these flaws to inject malicious database queries, escalate privileges on affected systems, read sensitive files without authorisation, or compromise browser sessions.

While the full bulletin contains further detail, this summary reflects only the vulnerabilities named in the excerpt reviewed. Businesses using any of these products should check vendor advisories and apply available patches or updates as soon as possible to reduce exposure.
