Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from session fixation, by allowing arbitrary session identifiers to be forced and, at the same time, by not invalidating the existing session upon a successful authentication. Under some circumstances, that could have been an opportunity for an attacker to steal an authenticated session.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts. The login page of Revive Adserver is vulnerable to password-guessing attacks. An account lockdown feature was considered, but rejected to avoid introducing service disruptions to regular users during such attacks. A random delay has instead been introduced as a countermeasure in case of password failures, along with a system to discourage parallel brute forcing. These systems will effectively allow the valid users to log in to the adserver, even while an attack is in progress.
Revive Adserver before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via serialized data in the cookies related to the delivery scripts.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.5 and 4.0.0 suffers from Reflected File Download. www/delivery/asyncspc.php was vulnerable to the fairly new Reflected File Download (RFD) web attack vector that enables attackers to gain complete control over a victim's machine by virtually downloading a file from a trusted domain.
SQL injection in Revive Adserver 6.0.0 causes potential disruption or information access when specifically crafted payloads are sent by logged in users
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.
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.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). A number of scripts in Revive Adserver's user interface are vulnerable to CSRF attacks: www/admin/banner-acl.php, www/admin/banner-activate.php, www/admin/banner-advanced.php, www/admin/banner-modify.php, www/admin/banner-swf.php, www/admin/banner-zone.php, www/admin/tracker-modify.php.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The password recovery form in Revive Adserver is vulnerable to CSRF attacks. This vulnerability could be exploited to send a large number of password recovery emails to the registered users, especially in conjunction with a bug that caused recovery emails to be sent to all the users at once. Both issues have been fixed.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The Revive Adserver team conducted a security audit of the admin interface scripts in order to identify and fix other potential CSRF vulnerabilities. Over 20+ such issues were fixed.
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.
Use of cryptographically weak PRNG in the password recovery token generation of Revive Adserver < v4.2.1 causes a potential authentication bypass attack if an attacker exploits the password recovery functionality. In lib/OA/Dal/PasswordRecovery.php, the function generateRecoveryId() generates a password reset token that relies on the PHP uniqid function and consequently depends only on the current server time, which is often visible in an HTTP Date header.
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.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 allows remote attackers to perform unspecified actions by leveraging an unexpired session after the user has been (1) deleted or (2) unlinked.
The default Flash cross-domain policy (crossdomain.xml) in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 does not restrict access cross domain access, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross domain attacks via unspecified vectors.
Directory traversal vulnerability in delivery-dev/al.php in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the layerstyle parameter.
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
Vulnerability in the generation of session IDs in revive-adserver < 5.3.0, based on the cryptographically insecure uniqid() PHP function. Under some circumstances, an attacker could theoretically be able to brute force session IDs in order to take over a specific account.
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.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Revive Adserver before 3.0.5 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) delete data via a request to agency-delete.php, (2) tracker-delete.php, or (3) userlog-delete.php in admin/ or (4) unlink accounts via a request to admin-user-unlink.php. (5) advertiser-user-unlink.php, or (6) affiliate-user-unlink.php in admin/.
The HTMLQuickform library, as used in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2, allows remote attackers to bypass the CSRF protection mechanism via an empty token.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that (1) perform certain plugin actions and possibly cause a denial of service (disabled core plugins) via unknown vectors or (2) change the contact name and language or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted POST request to an account-user-.php script.
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 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 Neutralization of Input in Revive Adserver 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 and earlier versions causes a potential reflected XSS attack.
Improper neutralisation of input in Revive Adserver 6.0.0+ causes a reflected XSS attack in the banner-zone.php script.
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.
A reflected XSS vulnerability exists in Revive Adserver 5.4.1 and earlier versions..
Revive Adserver before v5.2.0 is vulnerable to a reflected XSS vulnerability in the statsBreakdown parameter of stats.php (and possibly other scripts) due to single quotes not being escaped. 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 pressing a certain key combination to execute injected JavaScript code.
Revive Adserver before v5.2.0 is vulnerable to a reflected XSS vulnerability in the status parameter of campaign-zone-zones.php. 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.
