AWStats 7.x through 7.8 allows XSS in the hostinfo plugin due to printing a response from Net::XWhois without proper checks.

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.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 querystring parameter. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-3714.

awstatstotals.php in AWStats Totals 1.0 through 1.14 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via PHP sequences in the sort parameter, which is used by the multisort function when dynamically creating an anonymous PHP function.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in AWStats Totals 1.0 through 1.14 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) month and (2) year parameter.

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-3714 to the following vulnerability:

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in awstats.pl in AWStats 6.8 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the querystring, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3681 and CVE-2006-1945.

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.

Directory traversal vulnerability in AWStats before 7.0 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted LoadPlugin directory.

Unspecified vulnerability in awredir.pl in AWStats before 7.1 has unknown impact and attack vectors.

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.

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.
