Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Telerik Document Processing Libraries RadPdfProcessing and AI Document Summarization and Question Answering

Impact

Telerik Document Processing Libraries versions prior to 2026.3.1027 have uncontrolled recursion, infinite loop, and inefficient algorithmic complexity vulnerabilities, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to terminate or hang the host process via a crafted PDF document or text. The attacker needs to submit a crafted document for processing. The impact is process termination or hanging.
