Progress ASP.NET AJAX and Sitefinity

Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX and Sitefinity have a cryptographic weakness in Telerik.Web.UI.dll that can be exploited to disclose encryption keys (Telerik.Web.UI.DialogParametersEncryptionKey and/or the MachineKey), perform cross-site-scripting (XSS) attacks, compromise the ASP.NET ViewState, and/or upload and download files.

Exploitation status

  • CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
  • US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2022-05-03. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.

Required action

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

CISA’s wording, unedited.
