CVE-2025-59299
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 · moderate confidenceDelta Electronics DIAScreen fails to properly validate user-supplied files before processing them. An attacker can craft a malicious file that, when opened by a victim, allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the running process, likely due to insufficient input validation in file parsing routines.

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 the system for DIAScreen executable or installation directory - check common locations like C:\Program Files\Delta Electronics\DIAScreen or use system search toolsAffected if DIAScreen is found on the system
-
Determine installed versionRight-click the DIAScreen executable, select Properties, and view the Version tab, or check the application help/about dialog for the version numberAffected if Version displayed is lower than 1.6.1 (for example, 1.5.0, 1.0.3, etc.)
-
Verify file import feature usageReview application logs or configuration files for evidence that the application imports, opens, or processes external files from users or external sourcesAffected if The application is configured to accept or process user-supplied files or project files
-
Check file handling configurationExamine DIAScreen configuration files or settings for options controlling file validation, file type restrictions, or script/macro execution during file parsingAffected if File validation settings are absent, disabled, or set to allow all file types without restriction
A system is affected if DIAScreen is installed with a version lower than 1.6.1 and the application is used to process or open files from users or external sources.
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 patch when available; until then, implement strict file validation, restrict file type processing, and consider sandboxing or isolating the application to limit impact of malicious file handling.
1.6.1
- 1. Navigate to the official Delta Electronics download center at filecenter.deltaww.com
- 2. Locate the DIAScreen application
- 3. Download version 1.6.1 or the latest stable release
- 4. Close any running instances of DIAScreen
- 5. Install the updated version, replacing the vulnerable installation
- 6. Verify the installed version matches the fixed release (1.6.1 or later)
