An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-124696 in the wild and no public exploit code.\nExposure: An affected version is only exploitable if your software uses the vulnerable function or option. 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.\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-2026-124696/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-124696/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-124696","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-124696/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-124696","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8chf-gvmv-2mrh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","exploitable_when_present":false,"fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript UI library","requires_auth":"none","requires_specific_call":true,"summary":"Attackers influencing spreadsheet sheet names can inject event handlers that run JavaScript when users hover the Kendo UI SheetsBar menu button.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss","vulnerable_functions":[]},"analysis_generated_by":"sbomify/insights-2b-fp8","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"In Progress Kendo UI for jQuery, Spreadsheet sheet names are inserted into the SheetsBar menu button's data-sheet-name attribute without encoding.
