CVE-2026-6022
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® UI for AJAX prior to 2026.1.421, RadAsyncUpload contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability that allows file uploads to exceed the configured maximum size due to missing cumulative size enforcement during chunk reassembly, leading to disk space exhaustion.
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 confidenceThe RadAsyncUpload component in Telerik UI for AJAX versions prior to 2026.1.421 lacks cumulative size validation during chunk-based file uploads. When files are uploaded in fragments, each chunk passes individual size checks, but the total reassembled file size is not validated against configured limits, allowing attackers to exhaust disk space by uploading oversized files.

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.
-
Identify installed Telerik UI for AJAX versionCheck the Telerik.Web.UI.dll assembly version in the application's bin folder, or look in the packages.config/NuGet package reference for Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Ajax, or examine the web.config assembly binding redirectAffected if The version number is lower than 2026.1.421 (for example, 2025.x, 2024.x, or earlier)
-
Verify RadAsyncUpload component is in useSearch the codebase for RadAsyncUpload declarations in .aspx, .ascx, or .master files, or check web.config for RadAsyncUpload handler registration under system.web.httpHandlersAffected if RadAsyncUpload is implemented and handles file uploads in the application
-
Confirm chunk-based upload is enabledCheck the RadAsyncUpload configuration in web.config or the aspx page markup for EnableChunkUpload="true" or similar chunking settings, or review the Telerik UI upload settings for chunk size configurationAffected if Chunk upload is enabled (this is the upload mode where the vulnerability applies)
-
Review configured upload size limitsExamine web.config for maxRequestLength and uploadReadAheadSize settings in system.web, and check Telerik-specific upload settings such as MaxFileSize or FileSizeThresholdAffected if No cumulative size limit is configured for the reassembled file, or only per-chunk limits exist without total file size validation
You are affected if your Telerik UI for AJAX version is below 2026.1.421 AND the RadAsyncUpload component is actively handling chunk-based file uploads in your application.
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 · scoped2026.1.421
Upgrade to Telerik UI for AJAX version 2026.1.421 or later which implements cumulative size enforcement. Additionally, configure server-level upload size limits at the IIS or application level as a defense-in-depth measure.
Upgrade to Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX version 2026.1.421
- Download Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX version 2026.1.421 or later from the official Telerik website (www.telerik.com)
- Review the release notes for version 2026.1.421 to understand the changes and any known issues
- Backup your current project and all Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX assemblies
- Replace the existing Telerik.Web.UI.dll and related assemblies with the new version from 2026.1.421
- Rebuild and test your application to ensure the upload functionality works correctly with the new version
- Verify that the maximum file size configuration is properly enforced for chunked uploads
