Summary
In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, the internal LayoutBuilder control processes client-state XML without disabling DTD processing, allowing unauthenticated denial of service via recursive XML entity expansion.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can remotely cause server overload, leading to application unavailability for users.
Recommendation
Update Telerik UI for AJAX to version v2026.2.708 or later. If not possible, consider disabling the LayoutBuilder control or applying WAF rules to block malicious XML requests.
Other vulnerabilities in Telerik UI for AJAX
See all- CVE-2026-14932Medium
In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, the obsolete RadChart component's ChartImage.axd handler is vulnerable to unauthenticated file read and deletion of image-extension files within the application directory.
- CVE-2026-13192Medium

- CVE-2026-13184High
In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, when Telerik.Upload.ConfigurationHashKey is absent and machineKey is not explicitly configured, upload metadata integrity protection may fall back to a predictable default key, enabling attackers to forge protected upload metadata and unlock further exploit chains.
- CVE-2026-13183High
In Progress® Telerik® UI for AJAX prior to v2026.2.708, RadAsyncUpload upload metadata processing may leak cryptographic validity through measurable timing differences, enabling remote attackers to recover protected metadata values.
- CVE-2026-13182High
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.
