CVE-2025-57703 is a medium-severity reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the DIAEnergie product by Delta Electronics. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. The vulnerability is reflected, meaning that the malicious payload is part of the request and is immediately reflected back in the server's response without proper sanitization or encoding. According to the CVSS 4.0 vector, the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requiring high attack complexity (AC:H), no privileges (PR:L), and no user authentication (AT:N). However, user interaction is required (UI:P) for exploitation, such as tricking a user into clicking a crafted link. The vulnerability has a high impact on confidentiality (VC:H), a low impact on integrity (VI:L), and no impact on availability (VA:N). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The affected version is listed as '0', which likely indicates an initial or unspecified version of the DIAEnergie product. The vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user within the affected web application.

For European organizations using DIAEnergie, particularly those in energy management or industrial automation sectors, this vulnerability poses a risk of client-side attacks that could compromise user sessions and data confidentiality. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive operational data or manipulation of user interactions with the system. Given the high confidentiality impact, attackers might steal credentials or session tokens, enabling further lateral movement or data exfiltration. While the attack requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be leveraged to exploit this vulnerability. The lack of a patch and known exploits suggests a window of exposure. European organizations with web-facing DIAEnergie interfaces are at risk, especially if users access the system from browsers susceptible to XSS attacks. The impact on integrity is low, so direct system manipulation is less likely, but the confidentiality breach can have cascading effects on operational security and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR.

1. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the DIAEnergie web interface to neutralize malicious scripts. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. 3. Educate users on the risks of clicking unknown or suspicious links to reduce the likelihood of successful phishing attacks exploiting this vulnerability. 4. Monitor web traffic and logs for unusual request patterns that may indicate attempted exploitation. 5. Coordinate with Delta Electronics for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 6. Use web application firewalls (WAF) with rules tailored to detect and block reflected XSS payloads targeting DIAEnergie. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on web application vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
