How it was found

An opportunity for open redirects has been available by design since the early versions of Revive Adserver's predecessors in the impression and click tracking scripts to allow third party ad servers to track such metrics when delivering ads. Historically the display advertising industry has considered that to be a feature, not a real vulnerability.

The lg.php and ck.php delivery scripts are subject to open redirect via either dest, oadest and/or ct0 parameters.

Impact

Users seeing a trustworthy domain could be redirected to a malicious URL without realising.
