In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX versions 2024.4.1114 through 2026.1.421, the RadFilter control is vulnerable to insecure deserialization when restoring filter state if the state is exposed to the client. If an attacker tampers with this state, a server-side remote code execution is possible.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX via insecure deserialization in the RadFilter control allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server by tampering with exposed client-side filter state. Affected versions span 2024.4.1114 through 2026.1.421. EPSS data not available; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 8.1 (High) reflects network accessibility but 'High' attack complexity (AC:H), indicating successful exploitation requires specific conditions beyond simple network access.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the RadFilter control within Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, a component framework for building web applications on the .NET platform. RadFilter provides dynamic query-building capabilities and persists filter state between requests. The flaw (CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data) occurs when this filter state is serialized and exposed to the client-typically in ViewState, hidden form fields, or query parameters. ASP.NET's BinaryFormatter or other .NET deserialization mechanisms can instantiate arbitrary objects when processing untrusted state data. An attacker who controls serialized input can craft malicious payloads (using gadget chains in libraries like System.Configuration or System.Windows.Data.ObjectDataProvider) to achieve code execution upon deserialization. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:progress_software:telerik_ui_for_asp.net_ajax identifies the affected library across multiple product versions. This vulnerability pattern is well-established in .NET ecosystems, particularly in products exposing serialized state to untrusted clients.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX version 2026.2.513 or later, which addresses the deserialization vulnerability in RadFilter state handling per vendor advisory available at https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/kb-security-deserialization-of-untrusted-data-cve-2026-6023. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement the following compensating controls: (1) disable client-side state persistence for RadFilter controls by setting StateStorageMode to server-side only (stores state in server session rather than ViewState)-trade-off is increased server memory consumption and incompatibility with web farms without sticky sessions; (2) encrypt and sign ViewState using machineKey with validation='AES' and decryption='AES' in web.config, ensuring attackers cannot tamper with serialized data-this mitigates but does not eliminate risk if encryption keys are compromised; (3) implement network segmentation to restrict access to applications using RadFilter to trusted IP ranges only-reduces attack surface but does not prevent authenticated or insider threats. Note that generic input validation is insufficient as exploitation occurs at the deserialization layer before application logic processes data. Vendor advisory provides code samples for secure configuration; review deployment-specific guidance before applying mitigations.
