A significant vulnerability chain in Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX has been disclosed, allowing unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution (RCE) through a padding oracle exploit. The vulnerabilities affect versions 2010.1.309 to 2026.2.519, with a patch available in version 2026.2.708.

Researchers from Tanto Security demonstrated the exploit, releasing a proof-of-concept tool that includes payloads for executing commands on vulnerable servers. Progress Software has confirmed the vulnerabilities and released advisories, but there are no known instances of exploitation in the wild as of now. Users are urged to upgrade to the patched version to mitigate the risks. The vulnerabilities are tracked under CVEs including CVE-2026-13181 and CVE-2026-13182.
