Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 0.61% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs prebid prebid-server and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

Prebid Server is an open-source solution for running real-time advertising auctions in the cloud. Prior to version 4.4.0, certain bidder adapters in Prebid Server interpolate user-supplied parameters into outbound request URLs without properly validating host and subdomain values, allowing crafted bid request parameters to cause server-side requests to unintended destinations and potentially expose internal network services or sensitive server endpoints. This issue is fixed in version 4.4.0.

What

Prebid Server is an open-source solution for running real-time advertising auctions in the cloud. Prior to version 4.4.0, certain bidder adapters in Prebid Server interpolate user-supplied parameters into outbound request URLs without properly validating host and subdomain values, allowing crafted bid request parameters to cause server-side requests to unintended destinations and potentially expose internal network services or sensitive server endpoints. This issue is fixed in version 4.4.0.

Why

The server follows an attacker-influenced destination, allowing requests to systems or services the attacker cannot reach directly.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Network
Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
User interaction

Security boundary
Changed: exploitation can affect a different security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-918 ↗

CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). 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.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SChangedScope: The attack can affect a component governed by a different security authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2026-029075PrebidのPrebid Serverにおけるサーバサイドのリクエストフォージェリの脆弱性

Prebid Serverは、クラウド上でリアルタイム広告オークションを実行するためのオープンソースソリューションです。バージョン4.4.0より前のバージョンでは、Prebid Serverの特定のビッダーアダプターがユーザー提供のパラメータを適切にホストおよびサブドメインの値を検証せずに送信先リクエストURLに補間していました。そのため、細工されたビッドリクエストパラメータによってサーバー側のリクエストが意図しない宛先に送信され、内部ネットワークサービスや機密性の高いサーバーのエンドポイントが露出する可能性がありました。この問題はバージョン4.4.0で修正されています。
