Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-28244 is an Insecure Permissions vulnerability (CWE-922) affecting the Local Storage component in Alteryx Server version 2023.1.1.460. It enables remote attackers to access valid user session tokens stored in localStorage, potentially resulting in full account takeover. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of required privileges, and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Remote attackers without prior authentication can exploit this issue by tricking authenticated users into performing an action that exposes localStorage contents, such as visiting a malicious webpage. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the victim's session token, allowing unauthorized access to the Alteryx Server account with the same privileges as the targeted user, including potential data exfiltration, workflow manipulation, or further lateral movement within the environment.

Vendor guidance is available via the Alteryx security advisory at https://alteryx.com, while a detailed technical analysis and potential proof-of-concept are provided in a GitHub Gist at https://gist.github.com/DylanGrl/2771afe86bdd2665b83f28c1ff5c12eb. Security practitioners should consult these resources for specific patch instructions, workarounds, or upgrade paths to mitigate the risk.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces approved authorizations for logical access to stored information, directly stopping unauthorized read/write.

SC-28 Protection of Information at Rest good match

Requires protection of confidentiality/integrity for information at rest, directly addressing insecure storage.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

Limits privileges so only authorized accesses to sensitive stored data are permitted.

AC-16 Security and Privacy Attributes partial match

Associates security attributes with information to support proper access decisions on storage.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Enforces least-privilege permissions and authorization reviews that limit read/write access to stored sensitive data.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Directly protects data-at-rest confidentiality via encryption or access controls that prevent unauthorized reads.

A.7.10 Storage media none match
mitigates

Secure reuse and disposal procedures, including cryptographic wiping and physical destruction, stop the insecure storage of sensitive data on media that may later be accessed by unauthorized actors.

A.7.14 Secure disposal or re-use of equipment none match
prevents

Mandating secure disposal techniques stops the insecure retention of sensitive information on storage media that leaves organizational control.
