User InteractionNone needed
Summary
Delta Electronics DIAEnergie contains multiple vulnerabilities including SQL injection (CWE-89), cross-site scripting (CWE-79), and authorization bypass (CWE-285). These flaws allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code, inject malicious SQL commands, or gain unauthorized access to restricted functions in the energy management application. The vulnerabilities affect DIAEnergie versions prior to 1.9.01.002, 1.9.02.001, and 1.9.03.001. No patches are currently available from the vendor.
What this means
What could happen
An authenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code, inject malicious SQL commands, or bypass authorization controls in DIAEnergie, potentially allowing manipulation of energy management data or disruption of monitoring and control functions in your facility.
Who's at risk
Energy and utility organizations running Delta Electronics DIAEnergie for energy management, monitoring, or SCADA integration. This includes municipal electric utilities, industrial facilities with on-site power management, and data centers relying on DIAEnergie for facility energy optimization or demand response coordination.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with valid user credentials could exploit SQL injection (CWE-89) or cross-site scripting (CWE-79) vulnerabilities in the DIAEnergie web interface to execute arbitrary commands or SQL queries. The attacker could also exploit authorization flaws (CWE-285) to access functionality they should not have permission to use, potentially modifying energy distribution setpoints or disabling alarms.
Prerequisites
- Valid DIAEnergie user account credentials
- Network access to the DIAEnergie web interface (typically port 80 or 443)
- Knowledge of DIAEnergie parameter names or interface structure for SQL injection or XSS payload crafting

Remediation & Mitigation
0/5
Do now
0/3HARDENINGRestrict network access to DIAEnergie to authorized engineering workstations only using firewall rules; block all Internet-facing access to the application
HARDENINGIf remote access to DIAEnergie is required, use a VPN with current security patches; disable direct Internet exposure of the application
WORKAROUNDMonitor DIAEnergie logs for SQL injection attempts, XSS payloads, or unauthorized access to high-privilege functions
Schedule — requires maintenance window
0/1Patching may require device reboot — plan for process interruption
HARDENINGEnforce strong, unique passwords for all DIAEnergie user accounts and implement multi-factor authentication where possible to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used for exploitation
Mitigations - no patch available
0/1The following products have reached End of Life with no planned fix: DIAEnergie - DIAEnergie, DIAEnergie - DIAEnergie, DIAEnergie: < 1.9.03.001. Apply the following compensating controls:
HARDENINGImplement network segmentation to isolate DIAEnergie servers and clients from the business network using air-gapped or restricted VLAN architecture
