What to do

AI-suggested

1. 2. Restrict access to systems running QlikView installers to trusted administrators only, minimizing the number of users with local access. 3. Implement strict file system permissions and execution policies to prevent unauthorized users from running or manipulating installer executables. 4. Use application whitelisting to control which executables can run on critical systems. 5. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for unusual installer activity or privilege escalation attempts. 6. Conduct regular audits of user privileges and remove unnecessary local accounts or rights. 7. Educate users about the risks of running unauthorized installers and enforce least privilege principles. 8. Consider isolating QlikView installation and update processes to dedicated, secured administrative workstations. These steps reduce the attack surface and limit the ability of low-privileged users to exploit the race condition.

Description

A race condition in the installer executable in Qlik Qlikview before versions May 2022 SR3 (12.70.20300) and May 2023 SR2 (12,80.20200) may allow an existing lower privileged user to cause code to be executed in the context of a Windows Administrator.
