A missing sanitisation vulnerability of user input in the zone-include.php script exists in Revive Adserver 6.0.7 and earlier. A low‑privileged user could exploit the refresh parameter of the iFrame invocation tag to perform reflected XSS attacks.
A bypass for CVE‑2026‑34913 exists with proper ownership validation that had not been applied to the reverse operation of linking campaigns and trackers through the tracker-campaigns.php script in Revive Adserver 6.0.7 and earlier. As a result, a low‑privileged user could link their trackers to campaigns owned by other managers on the same instance, leading to inconsistent ownership relationships.
Bypass to the fix for CVE-2026-34916. Variants of such vectors have been also reported by phucrio and offsetmd. The fix can be bypassed either by sending a disallowed but otherwise valid plugin identifier as type, or using the ox.setChannelTargeting XML-RPC API method.
A stored XSS vulnerabilities exists in the maintenance-acl-check.php and maintenance-banners-check.php tools of Revive Adserver 6.0.7. The issue was caused by entity names being displayed without proper escaping when inconsistencies were detected. Whether the XSS payload is executed when an administrator uses the affected maintenance tools is not entirely under the attacker's control.
A bypass to the admin‑only restriction of the XML‑RPC API in Revive Adserver 6.0.7. The API response for the ox.login method returned a session ID cookie in the HTTP headers, and although the method correctly returned an error, the associated session was not invalidated. As a result, the leaked session ID could be used to perform subsequent API calls without restrictions.
A missing sanitisation vulnerability exists with user input in the stats-video.php script. The way URLs to this script were constructed did not follow best practices, and the output of the Smarty custom helper function url was neither properly encoded nor sanitised, allowing user‑supplied input to be reflected without escaping.
An Open Redirect vulnerability was discovered in Revive Adserver version < 5.0.5 and reported by HackerOne user hoangn144. A remote attacker could trick logged-in users to open a specifically crafted link and have them redirected to any destination.The CSRF protection of the “/www/admin/-modify.php” could be skipped if no meaningful parameter was sent. No action was performed, but the user was still redirected to the target page, specified via the “returnurl” GET parameter.
A security restriction bypass vulnerability has been discovered in Revive Adserver version < 5.0.5 by HackerOne user hoangn144. Revive Adserver, like many other applications, requires the logged in user to type the current password in order to change the e-mail address or the password. It was however possible for anyone with access to a Revive Adserver admin user interface to bypass such check and change e-email address or password of the currently logged in user by altering the form payload.The attack requires physical access to the user interface of a logged in user. If the POST payload was altered by turning the “pwold” parameter into an array, Revive Adserver would fetch and authorise the operation even if no password was provided.
A reflected XSS vulnerability has been discovered in the publicly accessible afr.php delivery script of Revive Adserver <= 5.0.3 by Jacopo Tediosi. There are currently no known exploits: the session identifier cannot be accessed as it is stored in an http-only cookie as of v3.2.2. On older versions, however, under specific circumstances, it could be possible to steal the session identifier and gain access to the admin interface. The query string sent to the www/delivery/afr.php script was printed back without proper escaping in a JavaScript context, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary JS code on the browser of the victim.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the invocation code generation for interstitial zones in Revive Adserver before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified parameters.
Session fixation vulnerability in the forgot password mechanism in Revive Adserver before 4.0.1, when setting a new password, allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via the session ID.
Revive Adserver before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via serialized data in the cookies related to the delivery scripts.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Revive Adserver before 4.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the user's email address.
SQL injection vulnerability in www/delivery/axmlrpc.php (aka the XML-RPC delivery invocation script) in Revive Adserver before 3.0.2, and OpenX Source 2.8.11 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the what parameter to an XML-RPC method.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in OpenX 2.8.11 and earlier allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that delete (1) users via admin/agency-user-unlink.php, (2) advertisers via admin/advertiser-delete.php, (3) banners via admin/banner-delete.php, (4) campaigns via admin/campaign-delete.php, (5) channels via admin/channel-delete.php, (6) affiliate websites via admin/affiliate-delete.php, or (7) zones via admin/zone-delete.php.
Revive Adserver 5.4.1 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the banner advanced configuration page that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts. Attackers can craft a malicious link to the banner-advanced.php endpoint with XSS payloads in prepend and append parameters to execute arbitrary JavaScript when an admin views the page.
Improper neutralization of input in Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes manager accounts to be able to craft XSS attacks to their own advertiser users.
Improper neutralisation of format characters in the settings of Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes an administrator user to disable the admin user console due to a fatal PHP error.
Missing JSON Content-Type header in a script in Revive Adserver 6.0.1 and 5.5.2 and earlier versions causes a stored XSS attack to be possible for a logged in manager user.
Improper input neutralization in the stats-conversions.php script in Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes potential information disclosure and session hijacking via a stored XSS attack.
Insecure design policies in the user management system of Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes non-admin users to have access to the contact name and email address of other users on the system.
Missing authorization check in Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes users on the system to delete banners owned by other accounts
Debug information disclosure in the SQL error message to in Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes non-admin users to acquire information about the software, PHP and database versions currently in use.
SQL injection in Revive Adserver 6.0.0 causes potential disruption or information access when specifically crafted payloads are sent by logged in users
A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Revive Adserver version 5.5.2. An attacker could trick a user with access to the user interface of a Revive Adserver instance into clicking on a specifically crafted URL and execute injected JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser. The session cookie cannot be accessed, but a number of other operations could be performed. The vulnerability is present in the admin-search.php file and can be exploited via the compact parameter.
Improper neutralisation of input in Revive Adserver 6.0.0+ causes a reflected XSS attack in the banner-zone.php script.
Authorization bypass in Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes an logged in attacker to change other users' email address and potentialy take over their accounts using the forgot password functionality.
