Official description
In Progress® Telerik® UI for ASP.NET MVC versions `2012.2.710` through `2026.3.1015`, server-side filter processing does not properly validate descriptor types, null values, or stack state in FilterNodeVisitor and does not catch FilterParserException within the affected assembly. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this if the application exposes an endpoint reachable without authentication that accepts crafted filter parameters. Affected requests can trigger uncaught cast, null-reference, or empty-stack exceptions and return HTTP 500. The report does not demonstrate worker-process termination or disruption of unrelated requests. The issue is fixed in version `2026.4.1111`.

The underlying weakness: Uncaught Exception
An exception is thrown from a function, but it is not caught.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- The choice between a language which has named or unnamed exceptions needs to be done. While unnamed exceptions exacerbate the chance of not properly dealing with an exception, named exceptions suffer from the up call version of the weak base class problem.
- A language can be used which requires, at compile time, to catch all serious exceptions. However, one must make sure to use the most current version of the API as new exceptions could be added.
- Catch all relevant exceptions. This is the recommended solution. Ensure that all exceptions are handled in such a way that you can be sure of the state of your system at any given moment.
