Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.35% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Unknown Unknown and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

An issue was discovered in Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows before November 2024 IR. Unprivileged users with network access may be able to execute remote commands that could cause high availability damages, including high integrity and confidentiality risks. This is fixed in November 2024 IR, May 2024 Patch 10, February 2024 Patch 14, November 2023 Patch 16, August 2023 Patch 16, May 2023 Patch 18, and February 2023 Patch 15.

What

An issue was discovered in Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows before November 2024 IR. Unprivileged users with network access may be able to execute remote commands that could cause high availability damages, including high integrity and confidentiality risks. This is fixed in November 2024 IR, May 2024 Patch 10, February 2024 Patch 14, November 2023 Patch 16, August 2023 Patch 16, May 2023 Patch 18, and February 2023 Patch 15.

Why

Untrusted data can cross into a code-evaluation path and be interpreted as executable instructions.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication after a user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Network
Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
User interaction
Required interaction required
Attack complexity
High: exploitation depends on specific conditions
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-94 ↗

CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'). The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AC:H/AV:N/A:H/C:H/I:H/PR:N/S:U/UI:R

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

Official advisory ↗
NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0469Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Qlik Sense Enterprise voor Windows

De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de manier waarop Qlik Sense Enterprise omgaat met netwerktoegang voor niet-geprivilegieerde gebruikers. Deze gebruikers kunnen verbindingobjecten creëren die willekeurige EXE-bestanden kunnen uitvoeren, wat leidt tot ongeautoriseerde uitvoering van potentieel schadelijke applicaties. Daarnaast kunnen ze ook externe commando's uitvoeren, wat ernstige risico's met zich meebrengt voor de beschikbaarheid, integriteit en vertrouwelijkheid van het systeem. Dit kan door kwaadwillenden worden misbruikt om ongeautoriseerde toegang en commando-uitvoering te verkrijgen. Organisaties die deze software gebruiken, moeten ervoor zorgen dat ze de laatste versie draaien om de bijbehorende risico's te mitigeren.
