Lifecycle Timeline

A missing validation of user input when saving delivery limitations in Revive Adserver 6.0.6 and earlier could allow a low‑privileged user to use the logical parameter to inject malicious PHP code into the compiledlimitations field on the database and have it executed during banner delivery. Input sanitisation has been improved to ensure that the parameter is properly validated.

AnalysisAI
Authenticated PHP code injection in Revive Adserver 6.0.6 and earlier allows a low-privileged user to embed arbitrary PHP into the compiledlimitations database field via the logical parameter of delivery limitations, with execution occurring later during banner delivery. The flaw is exploitable over the network with low complexity and yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 8.8), though no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Revive Adserver is an open-source PHP ad-serving platform (forked from OpenX) used to manage and deliver banner campaigns. Delivery limitations are rules (geo, time, frequency, etc.) attached to banners; they are compiled into PHP expressions and persisted in the compiledlimitations column, then eval'd or otherwise executed by the delivery engine for each ad impression. CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) applies because the 'logical' parameter - intended to be a simple boolean/operator token (e.g. and/or) - was concatenated into the compiled PHP without validation, allowing attacker-controlled PHP to be stored and later executed. CPE cpe:2.3:a:revive_adserver:revive_adserver:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions up to and including 6.0.6.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to the version released after 6.0.6 that contains the improved input sanitisation for the logical parameter; the input data references the HackerOne disclosure at https://hackerone.com/reports/3656781 but does not name an exact fixed release, so verify the fixed version against the official Revive security advisory page before deploying. As compensating controls until patched, restrict who holds advertiser/trafficker privileges and audit recent edits to delivery limitations for suspicious values in the logical field or compiledlimitations column, and consider blocking external access to the admin UI (typically /www/admin/) via IP allow-list or WAF rules that reject non-boolean tokens in the logical parameter - note this will break legitimate UI edits if rules are too aggressive. Disabling self-registration of advertiser accounts is also strongly recommended for any internet-facing instance.
