Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-124686 in the wild and no public exploit code.\nExposure: An affected version is only exploitable if your software calls kendo.init(). Many projects that include it are not exposed.\n\nAffected product: Progress Software Kendo UI for jQuery. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n   If an affected version is present, also search the code for calls to kendo.init() and report whether any exist.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-124686/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-124686/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-124686","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-124686/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-124686","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rjfx-524j-r2fc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","exploitable_when_present":false,"fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript UI library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","requires_specific_call":true,"summary":"Low-privileged attackers controlling data attributes can inject JavaScript via kendo.init() in Kendo UI for jQuery, compromising user data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection","vulnerable_functions":["kendo.init()"]},"analysis_generated_by":"sbomify/insights-2b-fp8","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-95","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code"}],"description":"In Progress® Kendo® UI for jQuery versions prior to 2026.4.1111, kendo.init() compiles data-* attribute values with new Function when an invalid JSON object is supplied.
