Note that no Tableau Public account credentials or passwords have been compromised as a result of this flaw. For Tableau Public authors who have protected workbooks, you should consider these workbooks downloadable until further notice. Who Is Affected?įor the majority of Tableau Public authors without any protected workbooks, you’re not affected in any way, and you don’t need to take any action.
We are currently working to implement a fix that will resolve this flaw. We’ve recently become aware of a flaw that could allow others to download Tableau Public workbooks that authors have protected with the “disable download” feature. Important notice for Tableau Public authors with protected workbooks: All Tableau Public workbooks with download disabled are now protected.
UPDATE: The issue referred to in this blog post has been resolved as of Thursday, August 20th.
