CriticalCVSS 9.8 · v3.1—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 57/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 59.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.5, NVD 9.8.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Inductive Automation Ignition 8.1.15 (b2022030114). Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.web.pages. The issue results from the lack of proper authentication prior to access to functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-17211.
