Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate DIAEnergie installation directorySearch for 'DIAEnergie' folder in common installation paths such as C:\Program Files\Delta Electronics\ or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Check if HandlerPage_KID.ashx exists within the web application's handlers or scripts folder.Affected if DIAEnergie software is present on the system with the vulnerable handler file accessible via web server.
-
Identify DIAEnergie versionCheck the version of the installed DIAEnergie. Common methods: right-click the executable (DIAEnergie.exe) and select Properties > Details tab; examine version info in the installation folder; check the application's About or Help section; or inspect version metadata in DLLs within the installation directory.Affected if The installed version number is lower than 1.9.02.001 (e.g., 1.9.01.002, 1.8.x, etc.).
-
Verify HandlerPage_KID.ashx is exposedIf DIAEnergie is hosted on IIS or another web server, confirm that the HandlerPage_KID.ashx endpoint is accessible. Access the URL directly in a browser (e.g., http://hostname/DIAEnergie/HandlerPage_KID.ashx) or check IIS handler mappings configuration.Affected if The handler is accessible and accepts user-supplied input without parameterized query protection.
-
Confirm web server configurationReview the web.config file in the DIAEnergie web directory for custom handler registrations. Check IIS manager for Handler Mappings associated with .ashx extensions.Affected if HandlerPage_KID.ashx is registered and enabled as an HTTP handler in the web server configuration.
A system is affected if DIAEnergie is installed with HandlerPage_KID.ashx accessible and the installed version is below 1.9.02.001.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.9.02.001
Upgrade DIAEnergie to version v1.9.02.001 or later. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement input validation, parameterized queries, and consider deploying a WAF as a compensating control.
DIAEnergie v1.9.02.001
- 1. Identify the current version of Delta Electronics DIAEnergie installed in your environment
- 2. If the installed version is prior to v1.9.02.001, obtain the v1.9.02.001 or later release from Delta Electronics official channels
- 3. Review all upgrade documentation and release notes provided by Delta Electronics
- 4. Create a full backup of the DIAEnergie system, including configuration files and databases
- 5. Test the upgrade in a non-production environment first
- 6. Apply the upgrade to production systems following Delta Electronics' recommended upgrade procedure
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful and the DIAEnergie application is functioning normally
- 8. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability in HandlerPage_KID.ashx is no longer present
