# Kendo UI for jQuery Form: hint text runs attacker markup as JavaScript

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-124695 (this .md is for agents)

The Kendo UI for jQuery Form widget renders each item's hint option as HTML even though it is documented as plain text. An attacker who can set a form item's hint can make script run in the browser of anyone who views the form, exposing data in that browser session.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Kendo UI for jQuery version in the project's `package.json` or lockfile; versions from `2020.2.513` through `2026.3.1015` are affected.
- Search the code for `items[].hint` or the Form widget's `items` configuration, and check whether any hint value comes from user input or a database.

## Fix

- Kendo UI for jQuery: upgrade to `2026.4.1111`.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-12T17:39:37+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-124695

## From the sources

In Progress Kendo UI for jQuery Form, the items[].hint option is documented as a string but is rendered as HTML. An attacker who can influence a Form item's hint can cause attacker-controlled markup to execute as JavaScript when a user views the rendered form. Successful exploitation may compromise the confidentiality and integrity of data available in the user's browser context. The first affected version is 2020.2.513; the latest vulnerable version is 2026.3.1015. The issue is fixed in version 2026.4.1111.
