CVE-2026-118035
HighCVSS 7.5Summary
In Progress® Telerik® Document Processing Libraries prior to version 2026.3.1027, uncontrolled recursion, inefficient algorithmic complexity and infinite loop vulnerabilities in RadWordsProcessing allow an unauthenticated attacker to terminate or hang the host process via a crafted DOCX, DOC, RTF or HTML document.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by hanging or terminating the document-processing host process, potentially disrupting application availability.
Recommendation
Update Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries to version 2026.3.1027 or later. Consider processing untrusted documents in an isolated environment.
Other vulnerabilities in Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries
See all- CVE-2026-118040High
In Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries prior to version 2026.3.1027, improper verification of cryptographic signatures and improper certificate validation in RadPdfProcessing digital signature validation allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause signature validation to report forged content as unmodified and its signing certificate as valid via a crafted signed PDF document.
- CVE-2026-118039High
In Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries prior to version 2026.3.1027, an XML external entity reference vulnerability in SVG image processing allows an unauthenticated attacker to read local files on the server via a crafted SVG image with a nested embedded SVG, when the image is processed or exported to PDF.
- CVE-2026-118038High
In Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries prior to version 2026.3.1027, a path traversal vulnerability in the Convert and Merge AI agent tools allows an authenticated attacker with low privileges who can supply tool arguments to read files outside the configured output directory, and to overwrite such files where they are writable, via relative file paths that resolve against the process current working directory.
- CVE-2026-118037High
In Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries prior to version 2026.3.1027, uncontrolled recursion, infinite loop, unchecked loop condition and inefficient regular expression vulnerabilities in RadSpreadProcessing and RadSpreadStreamProcessing allow an unauthenticated attacker to terminate or hang the host process via a crafted XLSX or XLS workbook or formula.
- CVE-2026-118036High
In Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries prior to version 2026.3.1027, uncontrolled recursion, infinite loop, inefficient algorithmic complexity and resource allocation vulnerabilities in RadPdfProcessing and AI document summarization and question answering allow an unauthenticated attacker to terminate or hang the host process via a crafted PDF document or document text submitted for summarization or question answering.
