View CVE Details Affected Products Inductive Automation Ignition Vendor: Inductive Automation Product Version: Inductive Automation Ignition: \u003C=8.1.53 Product Status: known_affected Remediations Mitigation Inductive Automation has determined that this issue is a default-value configuration, not a flaw in the access control itself. The security control enforces exactly what the \"Create Project Role(s)\" setting specifies; because the setting shipped blank, no role was required to create a project. Populating the setting fully closes the vulnerability. Mitigation Inductive Automation recommends users upgrade to 8.1.54 or later (or the latest 8.3 version), which restricts project creation to Designer sessions and no longer relies on this setting. Users who must remain on an earlier 8.1 version can fully remediate the issue by setting \"Create Project Role(s)\" to match their Designer Role. Once the setting is populated, only users holding that role can create projects.

Recommended Practices CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and\u002For systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov\u002Fics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov\u002Fics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
