VAR-202308-2284
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-03-18 23:20Inductive Automation Ignition OPC UA Quick Client Missing Authentication for Critical Function Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Inductive Automation Ignition. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the server configuration. The issue results from the lack of authentication prior to allowing access to password change functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-20540. (DoS) It may be in a state. Inductive Automation Ignition is a comprehensive platform for industrial automation that provides scalable solutions for monitoring, control, data collection and analysis. Ignition was developed by Inductive Automation to help users build and deploy automation systems that meet specific needs
