DoubleQlik is an unauthenticated HTTP tunneling remote code execution vulnerability in Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows, tracked internally as QB-21683. Improper validation of HTTP headers allows a remote attacker to tunnel requests to the backend server hosting the repository application, bypass security restrictions, and execute arbitrary code with backend permissions. The vulnerability bypasses an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-41265 and affects multiple release branches before their corresponding security patches.

A remote code execution vulnerability in Qlik Sense Enterprise involving HTTP tunneling.
A Qlik vulnerability that CISA KEV’s knownRansomwareCampaignUse field silently flipped to Known during 2025 (evidence of ransomware campaign use).
A bypass of an incomplete mitigation for the Qlik Sense vulnerabilities, known as DoubleQlik. The article identifies ZeroQlik and/or DoubleQlik exploitation as the initial-access mechanism in Cactus ransomware incidents, enabling arbitrary commands under the Qlik Sense service account. Attribution to this specific CVE remains uncertain because the available logs cannot distinguish the exploit routes.
