I second @jeremyseipel's comment. Seeing others bring up potential issues while upgrading and knowing how those issues can be avoided or fixed can help others to more successfully go through an upgrade process.

A good solution might be to create a post on the support blog, as suggested, and then make a comment here with a link to the blog post so that others would have visibility to issues and then follow the support blog post to offer and find solutions there.

In any case, thanks for putting together this support update! It's good to be aware of critical updates like this one.

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind 

We got repeatable questions regarding CVE Security fixes from customers whose running offline environment. (i.e., not connected to the internet), is it still susceptible to these vulnerabilities ? 

I strongly recommends applying the security patches or upgrading to a secure version of Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows, i didn't find any feedback in any related articles for CVE, or any Qlik's declaration 

what is your recommendations ?

Many thanks for your feedback

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind ,

We are planning to do upgrade in our platform. Will the vulnerabilities not fixed if we install Feb 2024 Latest patch (Patch 7) instead of Patch 4 or May 2024 latest patch (Patch3) instead of initial release.

Can you please advise.

Thanks,
Sivapriya
