AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable and unauthenticated (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), but AC:H because exploitation depends on file-based persistence with a user-derived key and winning the deserialization chain, yielding full RCE impact (C/I/A:H).

In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, a path traversal vulnerability in the file-based persistence storage provider can be exploited when the storage key is derived from user-controlled input, enabling attacker-controlled deserialization and remote code execution.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX prior to v2026.2.708 arises when the file-based persistence storage provider derives its storage key from user-controlled input, letting a remote attacker steer a path traversal into attacker-controlled deserialization. Because the CVSS vector is PR:N/UI:N, an unauthenticated remote attacker can chain the traversal to load a crafted serialized payload and execute arbitrary code, though the AC:H rating signals the attack is non-trivial to reliably trigger. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the application uses Telerik UI for AJAX's file-based persistence storage provider AND that the persistence storage key is derived from user-controlled input - this is the exact prerequisite stated in the CVE description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are moderately but not uniformly alarming. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a Telerik-powered .NET application where a control's persistence storage key reflects a request parameter, then submits a request with traversal sequences in that parameter to make the file-based provider load a serialized object from an attacker-influenced path. When the provider deserializes that object, a gadget chain executes arbitrary code in the web application's process context. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX to v2026.2.708 or later, which is the primary and recommended fix; consult the vendor advisory at https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/kb-security-appdata-path-traversal-deserialization-CVE-2026-13186 for exact upgrade steps. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
