Leased license activation outage

IncidentsCopy link

Today, we executed a migration of our 8-character leased license activation service to a new system. At 2:43pm PT we ran into an unanticipated issue where some licenses were unable to connect to the new service. This caused those licenses to not get a session resulting in Ignition reverting to trial period after the 4 hour expiration time. We have reverted back to the previous system at 6:20pm PT and all systems are functional again. We will perform a retrospective to understand the root cause and do everything we can to prevent this kind of issue in the future. We apologize and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Ignition 8.1.35 is now available for download. This release fixes the regression introduced in 8.1.34 with remote tags. Inductive Automation recommends that all customers prioritize their upgrade to 8.1.35 based on critical security updates addressing weaknesses disclosed in this Technical Advisory including code-signing improvements and protections against unsafe Java deserialization patterns. There are no publicly known exploits.

Inductive Automation recommends following the Ignition Security Hardening Guide, especially with regards to proper network segmentation, keeping the environment up to date, and working with trusted files and systems.

Ignition 8.1.34 has been removed from our website and will be replaced with 8.1.35 as soon as possible. The build includes an issue that causes remote tag states to reflect “Bad_Stale” quality in specific circumstances. This issue only applies to systems that leverage a remote tag provider (multiple Ignition gateways communicating over the Gateway Network).

Ignition 8.1.35 will be made available once the issue is fixed and tested. This version will be unchanged from 8.1.34 except for the fix. The update is expected to be available within 2 days or less.

If you’ve installed 8.1.34 and are affected by this issue, you have a couple of options:

  1. Revert to a prior version of Ignition. If you have a pre-8.1.34 Gateway backup, there is an option to revert the backend gateway to the previous version. An 8.1.34 Frontend works as expected.
  2. Stay on 8.1.34 and apply a workaround. Contact Inductive Automation Support to work around the issue with 8.1.34. This will involve installing additional modules on the backend gateway.

A new announcement will be posted when 8.1.35 is released. Inductive Automation recommends that all customers running 8.1.34 upgrade to the latest version once it is available.

Inductive Automation recommends that customers upgrade Ignition to 8.1.34. This version includes critical security updates addressing weaknesses disclosed in this Technical Advisory including code signing improvements and protections against unsafe Java deserialization patterns. There are no publicly known exploits. Additionally, Inductive Automation recommends following the Ignition Security Hardening Guide, especially with regards to proper network segmentation, keeping the environment up to date, and working with trusted files and systems.

As an update to our Technical Advisory on 8 August 2023, Inductive Automation is actively addressing vulnerabilities disclosed earlier this month as a top priority. ZDI-CAN-17571 (XXE attack) will be fixed in Ignition 8.1.32 (Sep 12th release). ZDI-CAN-20499 (OPC-UA resource exhaustion) is on track for 8.1.33 (Oct 17th). We completed design work including threat modeling and attack surface analysis and are working on implementation work addressing Java deserialization vulnerabilities. Additional reports have been submitted to IA from security researchers following the ZDI disclosure this month. These are being verified in detail and are believed to be variants of existing submissions that will be addressed by upcoming updates. These vulnerabilities can be mitigated by following best practices from the Ignition Security Hardening Guide, especially related to proper network segmentation, keeping the environment up to date, and working with trusted files and systems.
