CVE-2026-124688: Cross-Site Scripting via the spriteCssClass Field in Kendo UI for jQuery
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
In Progress® Kendo® UI for jQuery prior to 2026.4.1111 the TabStrip, PanelBar, and Menu widgets support mapping a dataSource field to `spriteCssClass`. If an attacker can control the mapped data, they can break out of the attribute and inject markup, including event-handler attributes. The resulting JavaScript executes in the application's origin when a victim loads a page that renders the affected widget, allowing access to data and actions available in the victim's authenticated session.
