⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise including data theft, data manipulation, remote code execution via database functions, and full control over the DIAEnergie application.
Likely Case
Database compromise leading to sensitive industrial data exposure, configuration manipulation, and potential disruption of energy management operations.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation, database permissions, and input validation are in place, though SQL injection could still expose some data.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection via fourth field of 'RecalculateScript' message using '~' separator; simple to exploit once message format is understood.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
windowsIsolate DIAEnergie systems from untrusted networks using firewalls.
Windows Firewall: New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'Block DIAEnergie Ports' -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 1433,502 -Action Block
Input Validation Filter
allImplement WAF or proxy to filter SQL injection patterns in 'RecalculateScript' messages.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network access controls to limit connections to DIAEnergie systems only from trusted sources.
- Monitor and alert on unusual database queries or CEBC.exe process behavior.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check DIAEnergie version in Help > About; if version is 1.10.1.8610 or lower, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check DIAEnergie GUI Help > About or examine installed program version in Windows Programs and Features.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 1.10.1.8611 or higher and test that 'RecalculateScript' messages with SQL injection payloads are rejected.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- CEBC.exe processing messages with '~' separators containing SQL keywords
- Failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns
Network Indicators:
- TCP connections to DIAEnergie ports (typically 1433 for SQL Server, 502 for Modbus) with payloads containing SQL injection patterns
- Unusual traffic patterns to CEBC.exe service
SIEM Query:
source="*DIAEnergie*" AND ("RecalculateScript" OR "~" AND (SELECT OR UNION OR INSERT OR DELETE))
