Udisks specifying a default mask was removed intentionally, leaving the
default to the NTFS driver. ntfs-3g defaults to all executable. People
often do have executable files on their NTFS drives and want to be able
to execute them. This has gone back and forth a few times over the
years and without the execute bit, less experienced users are unable to
make things work and don't understand why. With the bit, more
experienced users are... well, let's just say offended. I think we're
better off where we are, but maybe the ntfs-3g devs can chime in on why
it defaults to execute on when the in kernel driver does not. My guess
is that it is intentional but we'll see.

Title:
All files on ntfs partitions are marked executable
Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
This did not happen in 14.04 but somewhere since then udisks2 sets any & all
files on ntfs partitions as executable.
Additionally if file is copied over to user's ext4 partion the bit remains
set.
Can't see why this would be intentional??
In 14.04 udisks2 -
:static const gchar *ntfs_defaults[] = { "uid=", "gid=", "dmask=0077",
"fmask=0177", NULL };
In 16.04, 17.04, 17.10,18.04 udisks2 -
:static const gchar *ntfs_defaults[] = { "uid=", "gid=", NULL };
