In Progress Telerik UI for WinForms versions prior to 2024 Q4 (2024.4.1113), a code execution attack is possible through an insecure deserialization vulnerability.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Potential Mitigations
- Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
- An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
