AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Remote unauthenticated handler with no user interaction gives AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; impact is information disclosure/SSRF only, so C:H with I:N/A:N and unchanged scope.

In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, insufficient validation of the language parameter in the spell check handler may allow an attacker to influence server-side file path resolution and trigger unintended server-side requests.
AnalysisAI
Server-side file path manipulation and forced server-side requests in Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX before v2026.2.708 stem from insufficient validation of the language (DictionaryLanguage) parameter in the spell check handler, letting remote attackers coerce the server into resolving attacker-influenced file paths and issuing unintended outbound requests. Classified as information disclosure (CWE-36, absolute path traversal) with a CVSS 7.5 confidentiality-only impact, it exposes sensitive server-side file contents. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the application embeds Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX (pre-v2026.2.708) and exposes the spell check handler (RadSpell/spell check dialog) reachable over the network; the attacker manipulates the language / DictionaryLanguage parameter to influence server-side file path resolution and trigger outbound server-side requests. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) indicates a remote, low-complexity, no-authentication, no-interaction path with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability effect - consistent with an information-disclosure/file-read and SSRF primitive rather than code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to the Telerik spell check handler with a manipulated DictionaryLanguage/language value pointing at an absolute or traversal path (or an internal URL), causing the server to resolve that path or issue a server-side request and return or leak the referenced content. Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials or user interaction are needed. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: v2026.2.708 - upgrade the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX assemblies in all affected applications to v2026.2.708 or later as the primary fix, per the advisory at https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/knowledge-base/kb-security-spellchecker-dictionarylanguage-path-traversal-CVE-2026-13189. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all applications and services using Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX and identify systems running versions prior to 2026.2.708; prioritize internet-facing or high-value systems. …
