CVE-2023-48365, also known as DoubleQlik and tracked by Qlik as QB-21683, is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows. Improper validation of HTTP headers permits an external attacker to tunnel HTTP requests through the exposed Qlik Sense service to the backend repository application. This bypasses the intended request-routing and privilege boundary, enabling the attacker to execute requests and ultimately arbitrary code in the backend server’s security context. The issue resulted from an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-41265.
