Telerik Report Server: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts
CVE-2024-7292 is a high-severity improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in Telerik Report Server from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists versions 2024 Q3 (10.2.24.806), 2024 Q3\/10.2.24.806\/ as the first without the flaw, so updating Telerik Report Server to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Telerik Report Server to 2024 Q3 (10.2.24.806) or 2024 Q3\/10.2.24.806\/, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on docs.telerik.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

The underlying weakness: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Common protection mechanisms include: Disconnecting the user after a small number of failed attempts Implementing a timeout Locking out a targeted account Requiring a computational task on the user's part.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator.
