CVE-2025-13911

Inductive Automation Ignition Execution with Unnecessary Privileges

Ignition by Inductive Automation, when installed with default OS service
 account settings, may expose the host system to an elevated code 
execution risk via the gateway backup restore functionality. An 
authenticated user with Gateway Administrator privileges can import a 
malicious gateway backup (.gwbk) file containing crafted project 
resources, scripts, or modules, resulting in code execution on the host 
system. This affects both Windows and Linux installations. On Windows, 
default installations often run the Ignition service as NT 
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, resulting in code execution with full local system 
privileges. On Linux, default installations commonly run the Ignition 
service as root or with elevated privileges. Specific privilege level 
depends on installation configuration.
