Summary

DIAEnergie versions 1.10.01.008 and earlier contain SQL injection vulnerabilities (CWE-89) that could allow an attacker to retrieve sensitive data from the system database or cause denial of service. The application fails to properly validate user input before using it in SQL queries, allowing arbitrary SQL commands to be executed. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and requires no authentication.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker could exploit SQL injection flaws in DIAEnergie to read sensitive data from the energy management system database or cause the service to crash, disrupting energy monitoring and management operations.
Who's at risk
This affects organizations that use Delta Electronics DIAEnergie for energy management and monitoring. Energy utilities, industrial facilities with onsite power management, and facility managers who rely on DIAEnergie for monitoring power consumption, demand, or renewable energy integration should prioritize patching and network isolation.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with network access to the DIAEnergie application would send a specially crafted SQL query through an unprotected input field. The application fails to properly validate the input, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database to extract records or disrupt service availability.
Prerequisites
  • Network access to the DIAEnergie application port (typically HTTP/HTTPS)
  • No credentials required to trigger the vulnerability
  • DIAEnergie version 1.10.01.008 or earlier
