Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In Progress® Telerik® Reporting versions prior to 2024 Q2 (18.1.24.514), a code execution attack is possible through an insecure instantiation vulnerability.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

In Progress Telerik Reporting versions prior to 2024 Q2 (18.1.24.514) contains an insecure instantiation vulnerability that allows remote code execution. This vulnerability stems from the deserialization of untrusted data without proper validation, enabling attackers to instantiate arbitrary objects and achieve code execution on the affected system.

MitigationUpgrade Telerik Reporting to version 2024 Q2 (18.1.24.514) or later to remediate the insecure instantiation vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to reporting endpoints and implement input validation as a temporary mitigation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Telerik Reporting version
    Locate the Telerik Reporting installation directory or check the assembly version of Telerik.Reporting.dll in the application bin folder. Common locations include the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or the application's bin directory. Use PowerShell or inspect the file properties to find the version information.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 18.1.24.514 or the version cannot be determined.
  2. Verify reporting service endpoints are exposed
    Inspect the web.config or app.config files for configured Telerik Reporting service endpoints (typically under system.serviceModel or similar WCF/REST configuration sections). Check if ReportingWebService or ReportService.asmx endpoints are defined and enabled.
    Affected if Reporting service endpoints are exposed and accessible over the network.
  3. Check for unauthenticated access to reporting handlers
    Review the application's URL routing configuration and IIS/site settings to determine if reporting endpoints (such as /api/reports, /Reports, or Telerik.ReportViewer.axd) allow unauthenticated access. Test by attempting to access these endpoints without credentials.
    Affected if Reporting endpoints are accessible without authentication.
  4. Confirm deserialization usage in the environment
    Examine the application's code or configuration for use of binary deserialization (BinaryFormatter, ObjectStateFormatter, or similar) when handling data submitted to reporting endpoints. Check whether HttpRuntime.Cache or other serialization mechanisms process untrusted input.
    Affected if The application deserializes data from incoming requests without validation.

You are affected if Telerik Reporting version is below 18.1.24.514 AND reporting endpoints are exposed and process untrusted data through deserialization.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Interim mitigation

Upgrade Telerik Reporting to version 2024 Q2 (18.1.24.514) or later to remediate the insecure instantiation vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to reporting endpoints and implement input validation as a temporary mitigation.

Recommended fix High confidence

2024 Q2 (18.1.24.514)

  1. Obtain Telerik Reporting version 2024 Q2 (18.1.24.514) or later from the official Telerik website or your licensed distribution channel
  2. Review the official upgrade documentation at docs.telerik.com for version-specific migration instructions
  3. Create a complete backup of your current Telerik Reporting installation including reports, configurations, and databases
  4. Deploy the new version to a test environment before production
  5. Verify that all existing reports and integrations function correctly after the upgrade
  6. Deploy the upgraded version to production
