Domain account enumeration via authentication timing discrepancy
Published Feb 21, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025
Observable response discrepancy in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows before 14.44.0 allows remote attackers to enumerate domain users. The /internal_forms_authentication/ endpoint responds faster for an existing username than for a nonexistent username, creating an account-validity timing oracle. Unauthenticated network access and an LDAP-configured deployment are required; the consequence is disclosure of valid domain account names.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
