CVE-2026-106140: Progress Telerik Reporting deserialization vulnerability in .NET report designers

CVE-2026-106140 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-11-12

Telerik Reporting's .NET Framework-based report design tools contain a flaw that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code when a designer user performs editing operations. A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this to gain full control over the designer process, potentially compromising report data and the design environment. The .NET 8+ report designer is not affected.

Vendors: Progress.
