In AWStats through 7.8, cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config= accepts a partial absolute pathname (omitting the initial /etc), even though it was intended to only read a file in the /etc/awstats/awstats.conf format. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-1000501 and CVE-2020-29600.
In AWStats through 7.7, cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config= accepts an absolute pathname, even though it was intended to only read a file in the /etc/awstats/awstats.conf format. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-1000501.
A Full Path Disclosure vulnerability in AWStats through 7.6 allows remote attackers to know where the config file is allocated, obtaining the full path of the server, a similar issue to CVE-2006-3682. The attack can, for example, use the awstats.pl framename and update parameters.
Awstats version 7.6 and earlier is vulnerable to a path traversal flaw in the handling of the "config" and "migrate" parameters resulting in unauthenticated remote code execution.
awstats.cgi in AWStats before 7.0 accepts a configdir parameter in the URL, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted configuration file located on a (1) WebDAV server or (2) NFS server.
awstats.cgi in AWStats before 7.0 on Windows accepts a configdir parameter in the URL, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted configuration file located at a UNC share pathname.
Open redirect vulnerability in awredir.pl in AWStats before 6.95 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via unspecified vectors.
awstats.pl in AWStats 6.8 and earlier does not properly remove quote characters, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the query_string parameter. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-3714.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in awstats.pl in AWStats 6.5 build 1.857 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) refererpagesfilter, (2) refererpagesfilterex, (3) urlfilterex, (4) urlfilter, (5) hostfilter, or (6) hostfilterex parameters, a different set of vectors than CVE-2006-1945.
