Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) network reachability to the Revive Adserver web interface, (2) valid credentials for any low-privileged Revive account that can reach zone-include.php (PR:L per the CVSS vector - anonymous exploitation is NOT indicated), and (3) the target running Revive Adserver 6.0.6 or earlier with the unsanitised clientid code path present. Limiting factors: the attack is blind (no direct query output), so data exfiltration is inference-based and slower; no user interaction is needed (UI:N); and deployments that disable self-service account registration or that front the admin UI with IP allow-listing materially reduce the realistic attacker pool.

Impact

The CVSS:3.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privileged authentication and no user interaction, with high integrity and availability impact and limited confidentiality impact - consistent with blind SQLi where data extraction is slower but write/destroy operations are straightforward. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was supplied, and no public PoC is referenced beyond the HackerOne report URL, so real-world exploitation pressure cannot be directly quantified. The PR:L requirement meaningfully constrains opportunistic mass exploitation, but in multi-tenant ad-server deployments (where untrusted advertisers or agencies hold low-privileged accounts) the prerequisite is trivially satisfied, making this a genuine priority rather than a paper-tiger high-CVSS issue.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who registers or compromises any low-privileged Revive account - for example an advertiser or trafficker login in a shared publisher instance - issues authenticated requests to zone-include.php supplying a crafted clientid value containing boolean- or time-based SQL payloads. Because the response is blind, the attacker uses inference (e.g., conditional SLEEP() or IF()-based content differences) to enumerate the database, extract admin password hashes from the rv_users table, or modify campaign records to redirect traffic to malicious creatives.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 23, 2026

Blind SQL injection in Revive Adserver 6.0.6 and earlier allows authenticated low-privileged users to inject arbitrary SQL through the clientid parameter of zone-include.php due to missing input sanitisation. The flaw, rated CVSS 8.3 with PR:L, enables attackers with any valid account to exfiltrate or tamper with ad-server data; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a HackerOne report describing the issue is publicly referenced.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed from the supplied references, so administrators should upgrade to the first Revive Adserver release published after 6.0.6 once announced on revive-adserver.com and cross-referenced against the HackerOne disclosure at https://hackerone.com/reports/3653196. Until the patched build is deployed, compensating controls include revoking or tightening low-privileged accounts that do not require zone-include.php access, placing the admin/delivery interface behind a WAF rule that rejects SQL metacharacters or non-numeric values in the clientid parameter (trade-off: may break legitimate non-integer client identifiers if any exist), and restricting database privileges of the Revive MySQL user to the minimum schema needed (preventing INTO OUTFILE, cross-database reads, and DDL) to blunt the integrity/availability impact if exploited.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Revive Adserver is an open-source PHP/MySQL ad management platform (forked from OpenX) widely used by publishers to deliver and track display advertising. The affected component, zone-include.php, builds SQL queries that incorporate the clientid request parameter without proper validation or parameterisation, matching the CWE-89 'Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command' weakness class. Because the injection point returns no direct query output to the client, it manifests as a blind SQLi - exploitable via boolean-based or time-based inference techniques against the underlying MySQL/MariaDB datastore identified by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:revive:adserver:*.

DescriptionCVE.org

A missing sanitisation of user input in the zone-include.php script of Revive Adserver 6.0.6 and earlier. A low‑privileged user could exploit the clientid parameter to perform blind SQL injection attacks. Input sanitisation has been improved to ensure that all parameters processed by the script are properly validated.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Revive Adserver 6.0.6 and earlier contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability accessible to any employee with a standard user account, enabling them to access and modify advertiser targeting data, campaign configurations, and performance metrics. Organizations relying on this platform for ad operations face immediate risks to data integrity, revenue attribution accuracy, and advertiser confidence. Remediation is urgent given the absence of an available vendor patch and the ease of exploitation by low-privileged users.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Deploy Web Application Firewall with blind SQL injection detection rules for zone-include.php; (2) Enforce least-privilege access controls on ad-server system and user accounts; (3) Enable comprehensive SQL query logging and real-time alerting for abnormal patterns; (4) Restrict ad-server administrative access to secure networks only; (5) Perform monthly user access reviews to identify and disable unnecessary accounts. Implement all controls immediately to minimize exploitation risk.
