CVE-2023-41266

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.
