Summary
Inductive Automation Ignition versions from 8.1.0 through 8.1.54 and from 8.3.0 through 8.3.8 are affected. The Ignition Perspective module does not properly validate session privileges when it determines Designer-level access (CWE-863). An authenticated user with access to a Vision project can gain Designer-level privileges, and an attacker can use them to execute arbitrary code in the Ignition Gateway process.

Description from the CNA
The Ignition Perspective module does not properly validate session privileges when determining Designer-level access. An authenticated user with access to a Vision project could provide their valid Vision session identifier and gain Designer-level privileges. An attacker could exploit these elevated privileges to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Ignition Gateway process.
