AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Network-reachable and unauthenticated (AV:N/PR:N); AC:H because an oracle attack needs many iterative probes and observable response differences; confidentiality-only disclosure of protected metadata (C:H, I:N, A:N).

In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, RadAsyncUpload client-state processing can distinguish decrypt failures from invalid-JSON parse failures, creating an oracle that reveals protected metadata values to remote attackers.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX before v2026.2.708 lets remote unauthenticated attackers abuse the RadAsyncUpload control's client-state handling as a cryptographic oracle. Because the server distinguishes decryption failures from invalid-JSON parse failures, an attacker can iteratively probe the encrypted rauPostData token and recover protected metadata values. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS was not provided.
Technical ContextAI
RadAsyncUpload is the asynchronous file-upload control in Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX. It ships an encrypted client-state token (historically 'rauPostData') carrying serialized configuration/metadata such as target folder, allowed extensions, and handler settings. The server decrypts this token and then deserializes/parses the resulting JSON. This flaw is CWE-209 (Information Exposure Through an Error Message / discernible response): the control returns distinguishable behavior for a cryptographic decrypt failure versus a well-formed decryption that yields invalid JSON. That distinction is the classic side channel behind padding-oracle-style attacks against CBC-mode encryption, echoing the well-known historical Telerik RadAsyncUpload weaknesses (e.g., CVE-2017-11317/CVE-2017-11357), where oracle behavior over the encrypted upload configuration exposed protected data.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX v2026.2.708 or later (Vendor-released patch: v2026.2.708), which removes the distinguishable-error oracle in RadAsyncUpload client-state processing; then rebuild and redeploy all dependent ASP.NET applications and rotate the Telerik encryption keys/machineKey used to protect upload state since an oracle may have exposed protected values. If immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls include restricting or blocking access to the RadAsyncUpload async-upload handler endpoints (e.g., Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd / the RadAsyncUpload handler) at the WAF or reverse proxy, and rate-limiting or alerting on high-volume repeated POSTs to those handlers to disrupt the many-request oracle probing (trade-off: WAF rules may break legitimate large or bursty uploads and require tuning). Where the upload feature is unused, disable RadAsyncUpload entirely.
