CVE-2026-54735: Prebid Server: Information disclosure

CVE-2026-54735 is rated critical with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 10.0 and affects Prebid Server. Per its scoring, it can be exploited over the network, without authentication, without any user interaction. The scored impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is the highest available.

Vulnerability description

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.
