Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind ,

We are running QlikSense November 2023 (14.159.4) Patch 9 - are we ok with this version?

Many thanks

[David_Friend]

@Senor_Dai yes that patch is listed as being OK

[Senor_Dai]

Thanks so much @David_Friend !

[Senor_Dai]

HI again @David_Friend one of our installations is running Aug 22 Initial Release... We are going to bring it upto May 24 after some incremental testing as there are some complexities in the applictation.  Whats the earliest version/patch we can upgrade to to alleviate any risks?

Thanks again

Dai

Edit - have just read that Aug 22 patch 17 is listed as a fix

Is November 2023 patch 2 considered safe?

Hi @cobble2  as mentioned in this post, please update to November 2023 Patch 9

[Valstar]

I'm having a big issue, please help. I'm doing the update from AUG 2023 patch 4 to AUG 2023 patch 14 (which contains the security fix).

Result: HUB/QMC still working, but embedded iframes through JWT doesnt work anymore.

After uninstalling the new patch (14), and re-installing my old patch (4), it is working again.

Please advise how can I do the security update without breaking the above
