Delta Electronics DIAView
Plan Patch7.8ICS-CERT ICSA-26-022-07Jan 22, 2026
Attack VectorLocal
Auth RequiredNone
ComplexityLow
User InteractionRequired
Summary
Delta Electronics DIAView versions up to 4.2.0 contain a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) that allows arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation could enable an attacker to run commands with the privileges of the DIAView application.
What this means
What could happen
An attacker who tricks a user into opening a malicious file or link could execute arbitrary code on the engineering workstation running DIAView, potentially compromising control system design, configuration, or monitoring capabilities.
Who's at risk
Water authorities and utilities operating Delta Electronics DIAView for SCADA/HMI engineering, configuration, and monitoring should prioritize this update. Impact is limited to engineering workstations and design/engineering teams, but compromise of these systems could lead to unauthorized modifications of control logic or setpoints affecting treatment or distribution operations.
How it could be exploited
An attacker crafts a malicious file or email link that, when opened by a DIAView operator or engineer, triggers the command injection vulnerability. The attacker's code runs with the same privileges as the DIAView application on the workstation, allowing them to read/modify control system configurations or escalate further into the network.
Prerequisites
- User interaction required: victim must click a link or open a file
- DIAView version 4.2.0 or earlier installed on an engineering workstation
- Local access to the workstation (command execution is local, not remote)
