CVE-2025-57704
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDelta Electronics EIP Builder version 1.11 is vulnerable to a File Parsing XML External Entity Processing Information Disclosure Vulnerability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceDelta Electronics EIP Builder version 1.11 contains an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability during file parsing. The XML parser processes external entity references, allowing an attacker to potentially read local files or conduct Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks, leading to information disclosure.

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.
-
Verify EIP Builder installation existsLocate Delta Electronics EIP Builder on the system - check common installation paths like C:\Program Files\Delta Electronics\EIP Builder or C:\Program Files (x86)\Delta Electronics\EIP Builder. Check Programs and Features (Windows) or rpm/dpkg packages (Linux) for the product.Affected if Delta Electronics EIP Builder is installed on the system
-
Confirm installed version is 1.11Open EIP Builder and navigate to Help > About, or check the version displayed in the application title bar. Alternatively, check the executable properties (right-click the .exe file > Properties > Details) for the File Version.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.11 (older versions may not have this vulnerability, newer versions may have fixed it)
-
Determine if XML file import/parsing is usedReview project files, import logs, or user workflows to identify if EIP Builder is used to import or parse XML configuration files, project files, or other XML-based data. Check for .xml file associations or recent file open dialog history.Affected if Users import or open XML files within EIP Builder, as the XXE vulnerability is triggered during XML parsing
-
Inspect XML parser configurationExamine EIP Builder configuration files (look in the installation directory and user data folders for config.xml, settings.ini, or similar) for XML parser settings. Search for keywords like 'externalEntities', 'dtdProcessing', 'entityResolution', or 'xxe' in configuration files.Affected if XML parser is configured to allow external entity processing or DTD processing (this confirms the vulnerable configuration)
A system is affected if Delta Electronics EIP Builder version 1.11 is installed and users import or parse XML files, with the XML parser configured to permit external entity references.

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.
From vendor dataDisable external entity processing and DTD processing in the XML parser configuration, or use a secure XML parser that has XXE protections enabled by default. Validate and sanitize XML input to prevent malicious entity references.
