Summary
Progress Kendo UI for jQuery from version 2012.2.710 before 2026.3.1015 decodes validation messages from data-msg-* attributes and parses them as HTML in the Validator. An attacker who can modify a validation message can make escaped HTML active, including event handlers, when a user triggers validation (CWE-80). A low-privileged remote attacker needs user interaction and can run JavaScript in a user's browser, affecting confidentiality and integrity of data the application can access.

Description from the CNA
In Progress® Kendo® UI for jQuery versions starting with 2012.2.710 and prior to 2026.3.1015, the Validator decodes validation messages from data-msg-* attributes and parses the resulting text as HTML. An attacker who can modify a validation message can cause HTML that was correctly escaped in the page attribute to become active markup, including event handlers, when the user triggers validation. Successful exploitation can execute JavaScript in a user's browser and compromise the confidentiality and integrity of data accessible to the affected application. This issue is fixed in version 2026.3.1015.
