Protected metadata recovery via timing oracle
Published Jul 22, 2026 · Updated Jul 22, 2026
Timing discrepancy in RadAsyncUpload in Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX before 2026.2.708 allows remote attackers to recover protected metadata. The upload handler's configuration-processing path validates protected upload metadata with response-time differences that disclose whether cryptographic checks succeeded. The application must use RadAsyncUpload; the resulting oracle exposes protected metadata without authentication or user interaction but does not alter data or interrupt service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
