Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Qlik Sense Enterprise v14.212.13 was discovered to contain an information leak via the /dev-hub/ directory.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Qlik Sense Enterprise v14.212.13 contains an information leak vulnerability via the /dev-hub/ directory, which exposes sensitive information that should be restricted. This development hub endpoint likely reveals internal paths, API documentation, version details, or configuration data that could aid further attacks.

MitigationRestrict or disable access to the /dev-hub/ directory in production environments through network segmentation, web server configuration, or reverse proxy rules to prevent unauthorized information disclosure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Qlik Sense version
    Check the installed Qlik Sense Enterprise version through the QMC (Qlik Management Console) or by querying the Qlik Sense services API. Typically found under 'About Qlik Sense' in the QMC or via the /api/v1/about endpoint.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 14.212.13
  2. Verify /dev-hub/ endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access the /dev-hub/ endpoint on the Qlik Sense server (e.g., https://hostname/dev-hub/ or http://hostname:4747/dev-hub/) using a web browser or HTTP client.
    Affected if The /dev-hub/ endpoint returns HTTP 200 and displays content rather than a 403 Forbidden or 404 Not Found error
  3. Inspect exposed information
    Browse through the /dev-hub/ pages and look for any of the following that should be restricted: internal file paths, API documentation, version numbers, configuration details, or other sensitive system information.
    Affected if The endpoint reveals any internal paths, API documentation, version details, or configuration data that is not meant for public or unauthenticated access

A user is affected if they are running Qlik Sense Enterprise version 14.212.13 AND the /dev-hub/ endpoint is accessible and exposing sensitive information.
