CVE-2025-57700 is a high-severity stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Delta Electronics' DIAEnergie product. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing malicious scripts to be stored and executed in the context of the affected web application. Specifically, this vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code into the application, which is then stored and later executed when a user accesses the compromised content. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.0 reflects a network attack vector with low attack complexity and no privileges required, but with partial user interaction needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality significantly (high impact), with limited impact on integrity and low impact on availability. The vulnerability does not require authentication but does require some user interaction to trigger the malicious script execution. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The affected version is listed as '0', which likely indicates an initial or specific version of DIAEnergie. The vulnerability could allow attackers to steal session tokens, perform actions on behalf of users, or conduct phishing attacks within the context of the application, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data leakage.

For European organizations using Delta Electronics' DIAEnergie product, this stored XSS vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of sensitive information processed or displayed by the application. Attackers exploiting this flaw could hijack user sessions, steal credentials, or manipulate displayed data, leading to unauthorized access to critical systems or data breaches. Given that DIAEnergie is likely used in energy management or industrial control contexts, exploitation could also indirectly affect operational integrity and availability if attackers leverage stolen credentials or session data to escalate privileges or disrupt services. The requirement for user interaction means that phishing or social engineering could be used to trigger the exploit, increasing the risk to end users and administrators. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate risk, but the high CVSS score and lack of patches necessitate proactive mitigation. European organizations in critical infrastructure sectors, especially energy and industrial automation, could face regulatory and operational impacts if this vulnerability is exploited.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the DIAEnergie application to prevent malicious script injection. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. 3. Educate users and administrators about the risk of phishing and social engineering attacks that could trigger stored XSS payloads. 4. Monitor web application logs for unusual or suspicious input patterns indicative of attempted XSS exploitation. 5. Isolate the DIAEnergie application environment to limit the impact of potential compromise, including network segmentation and least privilege access controls. 6. Coordinate with Delta Electronics for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 7. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block XSS payloads targeting DIAEnergie. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
