CVE-2026-106156 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 8.6 (high) and affects Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core; fixed in 2026.3.1015.

## Summary

Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core from Progress Software has a flaw in its server-side aggregation handling: repeated requests keep dynamic assemblies and load contexts in memory, so process memory keeps growing and can exhaust resources and disrupt the application. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger this remotely over the network, but only if the application exposes an aggregation endpoint without requiring authentication.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Progress Software Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core: from 2015.1.318, fixed in 2026.3.1015

## Description

In Progress® Telerik® UI for ASP.NET Core versions `2015.1.318` through `2026.3.811`, repeated server-side aggregation requests, with or without grouping, cause dynamic assemblies and load contexts to be retained, resulting in accumulating process memory consumption. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this if the application exposes an aggregation endpoint that is reachable without authentication. Repeated requests can cause memory growth that may exhaust available resources and affect application availability. Disabling grouping in the client-side interface does not prevent direct requests containing these descriptors. The issue is fixed in version `2026.3.1015`.

## What to do

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-106156 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Server-side Aggregation), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-106156 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- Progress Software Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core: from 2015.1.318, fixed in 2026.3.1015
Fixed versions: 2026.3.1015.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-106156 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-106156 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/kb-security-uncontrolled-resource-consumption-cve-2026-106156
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
