MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against DIAEnergie instances before 1.11.00.022, per the vendor CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Exploitation requires only network reachability to the DIAEnergie web application; no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are stated as prerequisites. The primary limiting factor is exposure scope: DIAEnergie is a niche ICS energy-management product typically deployed on segmented industrial/enterprise networks, so realistic risk hinges on whether the management interface is reachable from an attacker-controlled network. The exact vulnerable endpoint/parameter is not disclosed in the available data. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely high-risk vulnerability by its intrinsic characteristics, though real-world exploitation signals are thin. The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H, 9.1) describes remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity path traversal with no user interaction - the easiest-to-reach profile that exists. Notably C:N with I:H/A:H indicates this traversal enables arbitrary file WRITE/overwrite/deletion (integrity and availability) rather than file read/disclosure, consistent with an upload or write-path traversal in a web-facing management application. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the provided data, so status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - the score reflects potential severity, not observed activity. The single reference is a self-published Delta advisory PDF (Delta-PCSA-2026-00014) covering a batch of vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-78308~78313), so the finding is vendor-reported and not independently corroborated by NVD analysis or a third-party researcher. DIAEnergie's ICS/energy-management niche means the exposed population is small, which argues against opportunistic mass exploitation; however, such systems have historically drawn targeted attention and Delta DIAEnergie has been the subject of repeated CISA ICS advisories, so internet-exposed instances should be patched promptly. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to an internet- or network-exposed DIAEnergie endpoint, embedding directory-traversal sequences (e.g. ../) in a file path parameter to write or overwrite files outside the intended directory. This can corrupt application/configuration files or plant a file in a web-executable location, damaging integrity and availability. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity, no-auth vector makes weaponization straightforward. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 24, 2026
Path traversal in Delta Electronics DIAEnergie before 1.11.00.022 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate file paths on the host, with the CVSS vector indicating high integrity and availability impact but no confidentiality impact, which is consistent with arbitrary file writing, overwriting, or deletion rather than file disclosure. Exploitation is rated CVSS 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and requires only network reachability to the DIAEnergie web application - no credentials, user interaction, or non-default configuration are prerequisites. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing, so current risk is driven by intrinsic severity and exposure rather than observed exploitation in the wild. The practical threat hinges on exposure: DIAEnergie is a niche industrial energy-management platform typically deployed on segmented OT/enterprise networks, so internet-facing or broadly reachable management interfaces carry the highest risk.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade DIAEnergie to 1.11.00.022 or later, the version boundary specified in the affected-product data and described in Delta's advisory Delta-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 that advisory covers several related DIAEnergie CVEs, applying it resolves the whole batch at once, and organizations should plan the upgrade as a single maintenance action. Where immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls should focus on removing the unauthenticated network reachability that makes this exploitable: block inbound access to the DIAEnergie web interface from untrusted networks at the firewall or reverse proxy, or whitelist only the specific engineering and operator subnets that legitimately need it - the trade-off is loss of remote/roaming operator access and a larger support burden for distributed sites. Because the vulnerable endpoint is not publicly identified, targeted WAF rules against traversal sequences (../, encoded variants such as %2e%2e%2f, and double-encoding) offer only partial mitigation and can be bypassed by encoding tricks, and they may generate false positives on legitimate filename parameters. Additionally, because the integrity/availability impact pattern is consistent with file overwrite or deletion, enable file-integrity monitoring on DIAEnergie application, configuration, and log directories and alert on unexpected modifications, restore-affecting deletions, or service restarts; this is detection rather than prevention and does not stop exploitation on its own. Segment the DIAEnergie host from general IT networks per OT security practice and verify that backups of configurations and historical data are current and restorable before any change window.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), meaning user-supplied input reaching a file-handling routine is not adequately normalized or constrained against traversal sequences such as ../, allowing an attacker to escape the intended base directory and reference arbitrary paths on the underlying filesystem. DIAEnergie is Delta Electronics' industrial energy management / SCADA-class application used for monitoring and managing energy consumption in industrial and critical-infrastructure environments, and it is identified in the affected product data as CPE cpe:2.3:a:deltaww:diaenergie:*, i.e., all releases of the Delta product line. Because the CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U with C:N/I:H/A:H, the vulnerable path-handling code is reachable over the network without authentication and without user interaction, and successful exploitation degrades integrity and availability while leaving confidentiality untouched - behavior more typical of an arbitrary file write/overwrite or file-deletion primitive than a read/disclosure primitive. The specific vulnerable endpoint, parameter, and whether traversal is exploited for upload, log, configuration, or template file paths are not disclosed in the available data, and the vendor advisory bundles this CVE with a family of related DIAEnergie issues (CVE-2026-78308 through CVE-2026-78313), suggesting a set of input-validation defects addressed together in the same release cycle.

Path Traversal in DIAEnergie.
This issue affects DIAEnergie: before 1.11.00.022.
Executive ViewAI
Delta Electronics DIAEnergie deployments prior to 1.11.00.022 are affected by a critical unauthenticated path-traversal vulnerability that can let remote attackers overwrite or delete files on the host, disrupting energy-management operations and integrity without accessing confidential data. The greatest organizational risk is for any DIAEnergie web interface reachable from untrusted networks, including internet-facing or broadly accessible OT/enterprise management segments. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so leadership should prioritize exposure discovery, network containment, and monitoring while compensating controls are the primary near-term defense.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict DIAEnergie web interfaces to trusted networks or VPN with MFA; segment OT/enterprise networks; deploy WAF rules to block path-traversal patterns; run DIAEnergie with least privilege; enable file-integrity monitoring and centralized logging; maintain offline backups; contact Delta Electronics for advisory and fixed-version guidance.
