A reflected XSS vulnerability exists in Revive Adserver 5.4.1 and earlier versions..
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.
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.
Revive Adserver before 5.1.1 is vulnerable to a reflected XSS vulnerability in stats.php via the `setPerPage` parameter.
Revive Adserver before 5.1.1 is vulnerable to a reflected XSS vulnerability in userlog-index.php via the `period_preset` parameter.
Revive Adserver before 5.1.0 is vulnerable to open redirects via the `dest`, `oadest`, and/or `ct0` parameters of the lg.php and ck.php delivery scripts. Such open redirects had previously been available by design to allow third party ad servers to track such metrics when delivering ads. However, third party click tracking via redirects is not a viable option anymore, leading to such open redirect functionality being removed and reclassified as a vulnerability.
Revive Adserver before 5.1.0 is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the publicly accessible afr.php delivery script. While this issue was previously addressed in modern browsers as CVE-2020-8115, some older browsers (e.g., IE10) that do not automatically URL encode parameters were still vulnerable.
Revive Adserver before 5.1.0 permits any user with a manager account to store possibly malicious content in the URL website property, which is then displayed unsanitized in the affiliate-preview.php tag generation screen, leading to a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
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.
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.
A user having access to the UI of a Revive Adserver instance could be tricked into clicking on a specifically crafted admin account-switch.php URL that would eventually lead them to another (unsafe) domain, potentially used for stealing credentials or other phishing attacks. This vulnerability was addressed in version 4.2.0.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.5 and 4.0.0 suffers from Reflected XSS. The Revive Adserver web installer scripts were vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack via the dbHost, dbUser, and possibly other parameters. It has to be noted that the window for such attack vectors to be possible is extremely narrow and it is very unlikely that such an attack could be actually effective.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.5 and 4.0.0 suffers from Special Element Injection. Usernames weren't properly sanitised when creating users on a Revive Adserver instance. Especially, control characters were not filtered, allowing apparently identical usernames to co-exist in the system, due to the fact that such characters are normally ignored when an HTML page is displayed in a browser. The issue could have therefore been exploited for user spoofing, although elevated privileges are required to create users within Revive Adserver.
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.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Reflected XSS. `www/admin/stats.php` is vulnerable to reflected XSS attacks via multiple parameters that are not properly sanitised or escaped when displayed, such as setPerPage, pageId, bannerid, period_start, period_end, and possibly others.
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.
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 Persistent XSS. A vector for persistent XSS attacks via the Revive Adserver user interface exists, requiring a trusted (non-admin) account. The banner image URL for external banners wasn't properly escaped when displayed in most of the banner related pages.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Persistent XSS. A vector for persistent XSS attacks via the Revive Adserver user interface exists, requiring a trusted (non-admin) account. The website name wasn't properly escaped when displayed in the campaign-zone.php script.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Information Exposure Through Discrepancy. It is possible to check whether or not an email address was associated to one or more user accounts on a target Revive Adserver instance by examining the message printed by the password recovery system. Such information cannot however be used directly to log in to the system, which requires a username.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from reflected XSS. The affiliate-preview.php script in www/admin is vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack. This vulnerability could be used by an attacker to steal the session ID of an authenticated user, by tricking them into visiting a specifically crafted URL.
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 persistent XSS. Usernames are not properly escaped when displayed in the audit trail widget of the dashboard upon login, allowing persistent XSS attacks. An authenticated user with enough privileges to create other users could exploit the vulnerability to access the administrator account.
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.
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.
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.
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 the "magic-macros" feature in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a GET parameter, which is not properly handled in a banner.
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.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 does not restrict access to run-mpe.php, which allows remote attackers to run the Maintenance Priority Engine and possibly cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a direct request.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in open-flash-chart.swf in Open Flash Chart 2, as used in the VideoAds plugin in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 and CA Release Automation (formerly LISA Release Automation) 5.0.2 before 5.0.2-227, 5.5.1 before 5.5.1-1616, 5.5.2 before 5.5.2-434, and 6.1.0 before 6.1.0-1026, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) id or (2) data-file parameter.
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.
Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 does not send the appropriate Cache-Control HTTP headers in responses for admin UI pages, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via the web browser cache.
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.
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.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the plugin upgrade form in Revive Adserver before 3.2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the filename of an uploaded file containing errors.
The HTML_Quickform 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 3.0.5 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 XML_RPC_cd function in lib/pear/XML/RPC.php in Revive Adserver before 3.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a crafted XML-RPC request, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in lib/max/Admin/UI/Field/PublisherIdField.php in Revive Adserver before 3.0.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the refresh_page parameter to www/admin/report-generate.php.
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.
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.
