Summary
Delta Electronics DIAEnergie v1.10.00.005 and earlier contain SQL injection (CWE-89) and path traversal (CWE-22) vulnerabilities that allow authenticated users with limited privileges to escalate privileges, retrieve confidential information, upload arbitrary files, and execute commands on the system. An attacker exploiting these flaws could compromise billing data, alter energy scheduling, or plant backdoors in the application.
What this means
What could happen
An attacker with valid DIAEnergie credentials could escalate privileges and run arbitrary commands on the energy management system, potentially altering billing data, energy schedules, or system configuration to disrupt operations.
Who's at risk
Energy management and billing operators at utilities and industrial facilities running Delta Electronics DIAEnergie. This affects anyone who depends on DIAEnergie for energy monitoring, consumption tracking, or demand response coordination.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with valid user credentials logs into DIAEnergie and exploits SQL injection (CWE-89) or path traversal (CWE-22) flaws to escalate privileges beyond their assigned role. From there, they can upload malicious files or execute commands on the application server hosting DIAEnergie, gaining control of the system.
Prerequisites
- Valid DIAEnergie user credentials (any privilege level)
- Network access to the DIAEnergie application server
- DIAEnergie version v1.10.00.005 or earlier must be in use
Remotely exploitable over networkAuthentication required but user privileges are lowLow complexity attack (SQL injection and path traversal are well-understood attacks)Affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of energy management system
Exploitability
Low exploit probability (EPSS 0.8%)

Remediation & Mitigation
0/5
Do now
0/1WORKAROUNDRestrict network access to DIAEnergie application server using firewall rules; allow connections only from authorized workstations and engineering networks
Schedule — requires maintenance window
0/2Patching may require device reboot — plan for process interruption
HOTFIXUpdate DIAEnergie to v1.10.01.004 or later
HARDENINGReview and audit all DIAEnergie user accounts; disable unused accounts and enforce strong password policies
Long-term hardening
0/2HARDENINGIsolate the DIAEnergie system from the business network; use a dedicated management VLAN or air-gapped network if possible
HARDENINGImplement VPN with multi-factor authentication for any remote access to DIAEnergie systems
