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 Document Processing Libraries, versions prior to 2024 Q4 (2024.4.1106), importing a document with unsupported features can lead to excessive processing, leading to excessive use of computing resources leaving the application process unavailable.

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 confidence

Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries prior to 2024 Q4 (2024.4.1106) suffer from a denial-of-service vulnerability where importing specially crafted documents with unsupported features triggers excessive processing, leading to resource exhaustion and making the application process unavailable.

MitigationUpgrade to Telerik Document Processing Libraries version 2024.4.1106 or later. Implement input validation and resource limits for document processing operations as a defense-in-depth measure.

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 Telerik Document Processing Libraries installation
    Search for Telerik.DocumentProcessing.dll in the application's bin directories, dependencies folder, or installed packages. Check project references or NuGet packages if source code is available.
    Affected if The DLL or package is present in the application
  2. Determine installed version
    Right-click on Telerik.DocumentProcessing.dll and view Properties > Details to find the File Version. Alternatively, check the version in the NuGet package manager or project dependencies if using package references.
    Affected if Version is less than 2024.4.1106 or version cannot be determined (may indicate outdated installation)
  3. Verify document import functionality is in use
    Review application code for calls to document processing methods such as DocumentFormatProvidersManager.GetImportFormat, or any code paths that accept document uploads and process them using Telerik libraries (e.g., RadSpreadProcessing, RadPdfProcessing, RadWordsProcessing).
    Affected if The application imports or processes documents using Telerik Document Processing Libraries
  4. Check for resource constraints on document processing
    Inspect application configuration files (web.config, app.config) or code for document processing timeouts, memory limits, or input validation on uploaded documents.
    Affected if No resource limits or input validation exist for document imports

A user is affected if Telerik Document Processing Libraries version lower than 2024.4.1106 are installed and the application imports or processes documents using these libraries.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2024.4.1106 or later
Fixed in 2024.4.1106
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Telerik Document Processing Libraries version 2024.4.1106 or later. Implement input validation and resource limits for document processing operations as a defense-in-depth measure.

Recommended fix High confidence

2024.4.1106 (2024 Q4 release)

  1. 1. Identify the current version of Telerik Document Processing Libraries in your project (check the .csproj file, packages.config, or NuGet package manager for Telerik.Documents.Core, Telerik.Documents.Flow, Telerik.Documents.Fixed, or Telerik.Windows.Documents library references)
  2. 2. Update the Telerik Document Processing Libraries package(s) to version 2024.4.1106 or later using your NuGet package manager: Update-Package Telerik.Documents.Core -Version 2024.4.1106 (or equivalent command for your package manager)
  3. 3. Rebuild and test your application to ensure document processing functionality works correctly after the upgrade
  4. 4. Verify that importing documents with unsupported features no longer causes excessive resource consumption
Caveat Review Telerik's release notes for 2024.4.1106 to confirm no breaking changes affect your implementation; standard testing recommended
