CVE-2024-8014
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 2024 Q3 (18.2.24.924), 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 · moderate confidenceThis is a deserialization/object injection vulnerability in Progress Telerik Reporting versions prior to 2024 Q3 (18.2.24.924). An attacker can exploit insecure type resolution during object deserialization to achieve remote code execution. The high CVSS score (8.8) reflects the critical impact of arbitrary code execution.

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 for Telerik.Reporting.dll in the application's bin directory, or check Program Files for Telerik installations. Also inspect web.config or app.config for Telerik.Reporting references.Affected if Telerik Reporting DLLs are found in the application
-
Determine installed Telerik Reporting versionRight-click Telerik.Reporting.dll, select Properties, and check the File Version tab. Alternatively, check the assembly version in the GAC or within the application's referenced assemblies.Affected if Version is displayed as lower than 18.2.24.924
-
Identify exposed deserialization endpointsReview the application's web.config or app.config for HttpHandlers or route configurations that handle serialized data. Common paths include /api/reports, /ReportViewer, or custom deserialization endpoints.Affected if Endpoints that accept serialized objects are publicly accessible
-
Check for Telerik Reporting servicesIf using IIS, check for Telerik Reporting services or WCF services configured for the application. Review the web.config for Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms or similar handlers.Affected if Telerik Reporting service handlers are registered and enabled in the configuration
The environment is affected if Telerik Reporting version 18.2.24.924 or higher is not installed AND deserialization endpoints that handle user-supplied serialized data are accessible.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped18.2.24.924
Upgrade Telerik Reporting to version 2024 Q3 (18.2.24.924) or later to remediate the insecure type resolution vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, review and restrict deserialization endpoints and implement input validation on any user-supplied serialized data.
Telerik Reporting 18.2.24.924 (2024 Q3)
- Back up your current Telerik Reporting installation and configuration files
- Download Telerik Reporting version 18.2.24.924 (2024 Q3) from the official Telerik website (docs.telerik.com)
- Stop any running Telerik Reporting services or applications
- Install or apply the updated Telerik Reporting package following Telerik's standard upgrade documentation
- Restart the Telerik Reporting services or application
- Verify the installation by checking the version number and ensuring the reporting functionality works correctly
