Summary
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.
