In Progress Telerik UI for WPF versions prior to 2024 Q3 (2024.3.924), 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.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ui_for_wpf | Telerik | * | 2024.3.924 (excluding) |
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.
