Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to create an anonymous session by sending maliciously crafted HTTP requests. This anonymous session could allow the attacker to send further requests to unauthorized endpoints.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2023-12-28. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply remediations or mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if remediation or mitigations are unavailable.
