CVE-2025-59297
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 DIAScreen lacks proper validation of the user-supplied file. If a user opens a malicious file, an attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
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 DIAScreen contains an improper input validation vulnerability when processing user-supplied files. An attacker can craft a malicious file that, when opened by a user, allows arbitrary code execution within the context of the running process. This appears to be a file parsing/deserialization vulnerability.

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 DIAScreen installationSearch for DIAScreen or Diascreen in Program Files, Program Files (x86), or the application's typical installation directory on the system. Check Start Menu shortcuts and desktop shortcuts for the installation path.Affected if DIAScreen is found installed on the system
-
Identify installed versionRight-click the DIAScreen executable (e.g., DIAScreen.exe) and select Properties, then inspect the Details tab for the File Version or Product Version. Alternatively, check any About or Version dialog within the application.Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.6.1 (e.g., 1.5.x, 1.0.x, etc.)
-
Confirm file processing feature existsLaunch DIAScreen and verify the application includes functionality to open, import, or load external files (such as project files, configuration files, or data files).Affected if The application supports opening user-supplied files and the version is below 1.6.1
If DIAScreen is installed and the version is below 1.6.1, the environment is vulnerable when processing untrusted files with the application.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped1.6.1
Apply vendor-provided patches when available; until then, enforce strict policies prohibiting opening of untrusted files with DIAScreen and isolate the application in a restricted network environment.
DIAScreen 1.6.1
- Obtain DIAScreen version 1.6.1 or later from the official Delta Electronics download source (filecenter.deltaww.com or authorized distributors)
- Verify the integrity of the downloaded installer using checksums if provided by the vendor
- Back up any existing DIAScreen configurations, settings, and associated data
- Uninstall the current (vulnerable) version of DIAScreen
- Install DIAScreen version 1.6.1 or later
- Restore configuration and data from backup if applicable
- Verify the installation was successful and test that DIAScreen functions properly
