Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered an XSS vulnerability in Revive Adserver (formerly known as OpenX Source), which can be exploited to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks against administrators of the vulnerable application leading to total compromise of the Ads platform.

1) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Revive Adserver: CVE-2014-8793

1.1 Input passed via the "refresh_page" HTTP GET parameter to "/www/admin/report-generate.php" script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.

The exploitation example below will show a pop-up window with "ImmuniWeb" word inside after user clicks on the following link:

http://[host]/www/admin/report-generate.php?submit_type=change&refresh_page=%3C/script%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E
