Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Github.com/prebid/prebid server/v4, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Certain bidder adapters accept user-supplied parameters that are interpolated into outbound request URLs. Without proper input validation, a malicious actor could craft bid request parameters that cause the server to send HTTP requests to unintended destinations, potentially exposing internal network services or sensitive server endpoints to unauthorized access. ### Patches Patched in [v4.4.0](https://github.com/prebid/prebid-server/releases/tag/v4.4.0) ### Workarounds If one is unable to update, please make sure that the affected bidder adapters are disabled.
