Summary
DIAEnergie versions prior to 1.10.00.005 contain multiple vulnerabilities in privilege escalation (CWE-285), SQL injection (CWE-89), path traversal (CWE-22), and cross-site scripting (CWE-79). Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user to escalate privileges, disclose sensitive information from the system, or disrupt system availability. The vulnerabilities affect the DIAEnergie energy management platform used for power distribution, metering, and billing operations.
What this means
What could happen
An authenticated attacker could escalate their privileges on DIAEnergie systems, read sensitive configuration or operational data, or disrupt energy management operations. This could allow manipulation of power distribution or metering systems under the attacker's control.
Who's at risk
Energy utilities and municipal electric providers using Delta Electronics DIAEnergie for power distribution management, metering, or load management are affected. This includes engineering and operations staff who manage distribution networks, substation automation, or energy billing systems via DIAEnergie.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with valid DIAEnergie credentials (e.g., engineer or operator account) could exploit SQL injection, path traversal, or privilege escalation flaws to gain higher-level access or extract sensitive data. From there, they could modify system configurations, disable monitoring, or alter operational parameters affecting power distribution or consumption data.
Prerequisites
- Valid DIAEnergie user credentials (engineer or operator account)
- Network access to the DIAEnergie application server on internal network
- Knowledge of the vulnerable code paths (SQL injection, file path traversal)

Remediation & Mitigation
0/5
Do now
0/3HARDENINGIsolate DIAEnergie systems from the business network using firewalls and network segmentation; ensure they are not reachable from the internet
HARDENINGImplement access controls limiting DIAEnergie logins to authorized engineering and operations staff only; enforce strong password policies and consider multi-factor authentication
WORKAROUNDIf remote access to DIAEnergie is required, use a VPN with current security patches and ensure it is only used by authorized personnel
Schedule — requires maintenance window
0/2Patching may require device reboot — plan for process interruption
HOTFIXUpdate DIAEnergie to version 1.10.00.005 or later when available from Delta Electronics regional sales or agents
HARDENINGMonitor DIAEnergie access logs for suspicious login attempts, privilege escalation patterns, or unusual data access
