MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires valid low-privileged authenticated access to the DIAEnergie web application (CVSS PR:L), reachable over the network (AV:N) with no user interaction. Exploitation targets versions before 1.11.00.022; instances patched to 1.11.00.022 or later are not affected. The limiting factor is the need for credentials - this is not an unauthenticated flaw - but any authenticated account, however low-privileged, appears sufficient given PR:L. The exact vulnerable parameter/endpoint is not specified in the available data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection that requires only low-level authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the backend database. This is internally consistent with the CWE-89 classification and the terse 'SQL Injection vulnerability in DIAEnergie' description. However, several exploitation signals are entirely absent: no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided, so the assessment is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The single reference is a Delta vendor advisory PDF (Delta-PCSA-2026-00014) bundling CVE-2026-78308 through 78313, confirming the vendor acknowledges and has patched the issue but providing no exploited-in-the-wild claim. Weighing signals: the high CVSS reflects genuine technical impact, but the PR:L requirement means an attacker needs valid (even low-privileged) credentials, which meaningfully narrows the exposure versus a fully unauthenticated flaw. DIAEnergie is an industrial energy-management platform historically targeted in prior CISA ICS advisories, so authenticated SQLi is a credible priority for operators who expose the web interface, but there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation at this time. Missing data to note explicitly: EPSS, KEV, and POC status are all absent - treat exploitation likelihood as unquantified rather than low. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding low-privileged credentials to a DIAEnergie web instance submits a crafted parameter containing malicious SQL to a vulnerable endpoint, which is concatenated unsanitized into a backend query. This lets them read, alter, or delete energy-monitoring and configuration data across the database, and potentially escalate toward the underlying host depending on database privileges. No public proof-of-concept was identified, and exploitation requires prior authentication. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 24, 2026
SQL injection in Delta Electronics DIAEnergie versions before 1.11.00.022 lets a remote attacker with any valid low-privileged account (CVSS PR:L) execute arbitrary SQL against the underlying database, resulting in full loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVE-2026-78309, CWE-89, base score 8.8). The flaw is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no user interaction, so it can be triggered directly over the DIAEnergie web interface, though valid credentials are required and the specific vulnerable parameter or endpoint has not been disclosed in the available data. No public exploit code has been identified and the issue is not listed as confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV), so the immediate risk is highest for internet- or IT-network-exposed deployments where low-privileged accounts are broadly issued. The advisory from Delta covers this CVE alongside five siblings (CVE-2026-78308 through CVE-2026-78313).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade DIAEnergie to version 1.11.00.022 or later, which resolves CVE-2026-78309 together with the other five vulnerabilities in Delta advisory PCSA-2026-00014 (https://filecenter.deltaww.com/news/download/doc/Delta-PCSA-2026-00014_DIAEnergie%20Multiple%20Vulberabilities%20(CVE-2026-78308%20~%2078313).pdf). Because the fix is cumulative, upgrading addresses the whole CVE-2026-78308-78313 cluster and avoids leaving adjacent flaws open. Where patching must be delayed, apply the following compensating controls in order of effectiveness: first, restrict network reachability of the DIAEnergie web interface to trusted management VLANs or a jump host via ACL/firewall rules, since the attack requires network access (AV:N) - the trade-off is reduced convenience for remote operators and the need to maintain exception rules; second, enforce least privilege and tighten account issuance, because PR:L means any authenticated account suffices - disable or rename unused accounts and rotate credentials for shared logins, though this does not stop a legitimate low-privileged user from exploiting the flaw; third, place a WAF or reverse proxy in front of the application with SQL injection signatures enabled, accepting that encoding evasion may bypass generic rules and that WAFs cannot inspect encrypted or non-HTTP attack paths; fourth, enable and centralize database and web server audit logging, alerting on anomalous query volume, UNION/SLEEP-style patterns, or unexpected DDL, recognizing this detects rather than prevents exploitation. Until patched, treat any credential compromise on DIAEnergie as a potential full database compromise.

Technical ContextAI · show details
DIAEnergie is Delta Electronics' SCADA-based industrial energy management system, used for power monitoring, meter data acquisition, and reporting across industrial and building environments - which explains its CPE classification under deltaww:diaenergie and its placement in OT/ICS-adjacent networks. The vulnerability is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), meaning application input reaches a database query without adequate parameterization or escaping. Because the CVSS vector is Scope:Unchanged with high C/I/A, the injected commands execute with the privileges of the application's database account, allowing data exfiltration from energy/telemetry tables, modification or deletion of records, and denial of service through destructive or resource-exhausting queries. The assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms the injection is reachable over the network by an authenticated low-privileged user with no interaction from an operator, but the exact injectable request parameter was not published in the reference material, so signature-based detection must rely on generic SQLi patterns rather than a known payload. No EPSS score was supplied for this CVE, so no probabilistic exploitation forecast can be stated.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
SQL Injection vulnerability in DIAEnergie.
This issue affects DIAEnergie: before 1.11.00.022.
Executive ViewAI
Delta Electronics' DIAEnergie industrial energy management platform, in all versions prior to 1.11.00.022, contains a SQL injection flaw that allows any holder of a valid low-privileged account to seize full control of the underlying database - compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data the platform manages. Because the product is typically deployed in OT/energy environments and the vendor has not yet released a fix, any organization running DIAEnergie with broadly distributed user accounts or network exposure should treat this as an elevated, unresolved risk requiring compensating controls rather than waiting on a patch.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network exposure of the DIAEnergie web interface to trusted segments only; enforce strict least privilege and aggressively prune low-privileged accounts since exploitation requires valid credentials; monitor application and database logs for anomalous SQL activity; apply web application firewall or database query filtering where feasible; and isolate the platform from flat corporate networks pending a vendor fix.
