## What is CVE-2026-44957?

CVE-2026-44957 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Revive Adserver, published on 23 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

A missing access control check when invoking various modify methods in the XML‑RPC API of Revive Adserver 6.0.6 and earlier. The API allowed entities to be reassigned to different parent entities, leading to inconsistent ownership relationships. This issue was exploitable only in combination with CVE‑2026‑34917 or with third‑party API extensions that expose API functionality to low‑privileged users. Access control checks have been added to validate access to parent entities in the API modify methods.

Weakness: CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)
