What to do

  1. Check which version of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

In Progress® Telerik® UI for ASP.NET Core versions `2015.1.318` through `2026.3.1015`, the server-side FilterParser processes nested expressions in untrusted filter parameters through recursive parsing without a recursion-depth limit, while FilterLexer does not enforce an input-length limit. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this if the application exposes an endpoint using DataSourceRequest model binding that is reachable without authentication. Deeply nested filters can trigger parsing errors during model binding or cause `StackOverflowException`. This issue is fixed in version `2026.4.1111`.

The underlying weakness: Uncontrolled Recursion

The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Ensure that an end condition will be reached under all logic conditions. The end condition may include checking against the depth of recursion and exiting with an error if the recursion goes too deep. The complexity of the end condition contributes to the effectiveness of this action.
