CVE-2024-6096
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 · uneditedIn Progress® Telerik® Reporting versions prior to 18.1.24.709, a code execution attack is possible through object injection via an insecure type resolution 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 · high confidenceThis is an insecure deserialization/type resolution vulnerability in Progress Telerik Reporting that allows remote code execution through object injection. Attackers can send specially crafted serialized objects that get deserialized without proper type validation, leading to arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Telerik Reporting installationSearch the system for Telerik.Reporting.dll in the application bin directories, GAC, or installation folders. Check installed programs list for 'Progress Telerik Reporting'.Affected if Telerik Reporting is found on the system and its version is below 18.1.24.709
-
Determine installed Telerik Reporting versionRight-click Telerik.Reporting.dll and view Properties > Details > File Version, or query the installed program via registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for Telerik Reporting.Affected if The reported version number is less than 18.1.24.709
-
Identify exposed reporting endpointsReview the application's web.config and application configuration files for HttpHandlers or WCF service entries that reference Telerik Reporting (such as ReportService.asmx or ReportViewer). Check IIS bindings if this is a web-hosted application.Affected if Reporting service endpoints (asmx handlers, WCF services) are publicly accessible or exposed to untrusted networks
-
Verify deserialization is enabledCheck if the application uses Telerik Report Viewer controls or invokes ReportService through remoting/soap. Review the application's serialization configuration in web.config for any DataContractSerializer or other serialization settings used with Telerik components.Affected if The application uses Telerik Reporting services that accept serialized objects from client requests
The environment is affected if Telerik Reporting version is below 18.1.24.709 and reporting service endpoints accepting serialized objects are accessible to attackers.

dbcve · scoped18.1.24.709
Upgrade Telerik Reporting to version 18.1.24.709 or later to patch the insecure type resolution vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to reporting endpoints and implement additional input validation at perimeter devices.
Telerik Reporting 18.1.24.709
- Back up your current Telerik Reporting installation and database
- Review the Telerik Reporting 18.1.24.709 release notes for any configuration or API changes
- Download Telerik Reporting version 18.1.24.709 or later from the official Telerik website (docs.telerik.com)
- Test the upgrade in a non-production environment to verify compatibility with your existing reports and integrations
- Deploy the updated version to production after successful testing
