My understanding is that udisks does not automatically mount anything on
its own (it's designed to be mechanism, not policy), but your desktop
environment might contain a component that provides the policy part
and asks udisks to mount media.

I would expect a desktop environment that does that to have configuration
for whether that component is active or not. In GNOME, it's the
Removable Media panel in the Settings app (gnome-control-center).

If you're using a purely XFCE system, thunar-volman is probably the
component responsible for mounting removable media. I don't know how
or whether that can be configured.
